Safety instructions
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers. There are no user-serviceable parts
inside. Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or damaged.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a protective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable
or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.
CAUTION!
Possible hearing damage
The device can produce volume levels that may cause temporary or permanent hearing impairment. Over an extended period of
time, even levels that seem to be uncritical can cause hearing damage. Decrease the volume level immediately if you experience
ringing in your ears or hearing impairment. If this is not possible, keep a greater distance or use sucient ear protectors.
NOTICE!
Risk of re
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.

Safety instructions
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC
outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the
user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric
shock or re.
NOTICE!
Risk of re due to incorrect polarity
Incorrectly inserted batteries may destroy the device or the batteries. Ensure that proper polarity is observed when inserting bat‐
teries.
NOTICE!
Possible damage by leaking batteries
Leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the device. Take batteries out of the device if it is not going to be used for a
longer period.
NOTICE!
Possible damage of VRLA batteries due to incorrect storage
VRLA batteries may be permanently damaged due to storage in discharged or partly discharged condition. Charge the batteries
completely before prolonged rest periods. Store the batteries at +20 °C or cooler, but frost-free in as dry an environment as possible.
Higher temperatures reduce considerably the lifetime of the batteries. Storing the batteries up to six months allows to use them
again directly. During extended storage periods (max. 12 to 18 months), the batteries should be recharged to avoid permanent
damage due to deep self-discharge.

Tips on handling VRLA
rechargeable batteries
n Charge the batteries completely before rst use and with each charging process.
n Avoid deep discharge.
n Charge the batteries completely after each use and before extended storage. VRLA bat‐
teries may be permanently damaged due to storage in discharged or partly discharged
condition.
n Storing the batteries up to six months allows to use them again directly. During extended
storage periods (max. 12 to 18 months), the batteries should be recharged to avoid perma‐
nent damage due to deep self-discharge.
