Safety Notes
All the components used in this device satisfy the currently valid German and European safety norms and standards.
Exacting quality control of all materials, painstaking production by qualified technical staff, and a fully automatic
Please read right through these operating instructions carefully before you attempt to use your new equipment. Note in particular the information regarding setting up and operating the unit, and the safety notes.
The machine must be set up in such a way that it is impossible to touch any of the electrical connections - especially for children. Please read and observe the notes and information in the chapter 'Installation, Using the K1 AV for the first time, Safety notes'.
The power supply required for this machine is printed on the mains supply socket. The unit must never be connected to a power supply which does not meet this specification. If the K1 AV is not to be used for a long period, disconnect it from the mains supply at the wall socket.
Mains cables must be deployed in such a way that there is no danger of them being damaged (e.g. by treading on them or placing furniture on them). Take particular care with connectors, mains distribution panels and the machine’s connectors.
Liquid or foreign bodies must never be allowed inside the case. Mains voltage is present inside the unit, and there is a risk of lethal electric shock. Do not exert undue force on the mains connectors.
Protect the machine from water: never place a flower vase or similar vessel containing water on the case.
Do not exert excessive force on the mains connectors.
The On/Off button on the front panel is not a mains isolation switch, and a few of the
machine’s
This device should never be used without proper supervision. The K1 AV should be set up well out of the reach of small children. This applies to all electrical equipment.
:CAUTION ! LETHAL HAZARD !
The unit should only ever be opened by a qualified specialist technician.
Repairs and fuse replacements should be entrusted to an authorised specialist workshop.
With the exception of the connections and procedures described in these instructions, no work of any kind may be carried out on the K1 AV by unqualified persons.
If the unit is damaged, or if you suspect that it is not functioning correctly, immediately disconnect the mains plug at the wall socket, and ask an authorised specialist workshop to check it.
The unit may be damaged by excess voltage in the power supply, the cable network or in aerial systems, as may occur during thunderstorms (lightning strikes) or due to static discharges.
Special power supply units and excess voltage protectors such as the ‘Power Bar’ mains distribution panel offer some degree of protection from damage to equipment due to the hazards described above.
However, if you require absolute security from damage due to excess voltage, the only solution is to disconnect the unit from the mains power supply and any aerial systems.
If you believe there is a danger of excess voltage (e.g. when an electrical storm is building up) disconnect the K1 AV from the mains supply and the aerial socket.
All mains power supply and aerial systems to which the unit is connected must meet the currently valid regulations, and must be installed by an approved electrical installer.
Many insurance companies offer lightning damage insurance for electrical equipment as part of their house and contents insurance policies.
