3 Safety Advice
For your own safety, you should read the safety instructions carefully before switching on your new receiver for the first time.
The manufacturer can accept no responsibility for damage caused by inappropriate handling, or by ignoring the safety advice.
>To ensure a sufficient ventilation, place the receiver on a plain, flat underground. Do not lay any objects on the upper surface of the receiver. This contains cooling slots, which are essential to ensure that the heat generated inside the receiver can escape freely.
>Do not place any burning objects e.g. burning candles on the receiver.
>Do not expose the receiver to drop and splash water. Do not place any liquid filled objects e.g. vase on the receiver.
>The receiver should only be used in moderate climate.
>NEVER open the receiver! You are in danger of receiving an electrical shock. If it is
ever necessary to open the equipment housing this should be done only by appro- priately trained personnel.
Please ensure that spent batteries as well as general electronic components may not be dis- posed of in your regular household waste, but should be disposed of professionally (either taken back by the retailer, or disposed of in accordance with local council regulations).
Equipment not in use:
During an electrical storm as well as during extended periods when the equipment is not in use it is advisable to disconnect it from the electrical mains.
In the following cases you should disconnect the equipment from the mains and call a specialist for assistance :
>when the mains cable or plug are damaged;
>when the equipment has been exposed to extreme damp, or when liquid has entered the equipment;
>when there are serious malfunctions;
>if there is severe external damage to the receiver.
