Maintenance

Clean the receiver with a soft, slightly dampened, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

Do not expose the receiver to

humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or

direct sunlight).

Setup

If you have stacked the components of your system, the receiver must be on top. Place the receiver on a flat, hard, stabile surface. Do not cover any vents and leave 50 cm

(20 inches) above and 10 cm (4 inches) to the left and right of the receiver clear for ventilation.

For good reception the loop antenna should not be placed on top of or beneath VCRs, CD recorders, DVD players, TVs and other radiation sources.

Environmental information

All redundant packing material has been omitted. We have tried to make the packaging easy to separate into three mono materials: cardboard (box), polystyrene foam (buffer) and polyethylene (bags, protective foam sheet).

Your set consists of materials which can be recycled if disassembled by a specialized company. Please observe the local regulations regarding the disposal of packing materials, dead batteries and old equipment.
