CARE AND SAFETY
______________________________
To ensure that this device provides you with long-term satisfaction and
enjoyment, please observe the following instructions.
This device is designed for the recording and playback of audio signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
Protect the device, the CDs and cassettes from rain, moisture (dripping or
splashing water), sand and heat. Do not leave it next to heaters or inside
parked cars in the sun.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation when positioning the device. There
must be a free space of at least 10 cm behind the device. Do no place objec-
ts on the ventilation slots.
Do not insert any foreign bodies in the CD or tape compartment of the
device.
Bringing the device in from the cold can cause condensation on the CD lens,
which prevents it from playing. Give the device time to warm up.
If the device is unable to scan CDs perfectly, use a standard, commercially
available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.
Always keep the CD compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the laser optics. Do not attach adhesive labels to CDs. Keep the surfaces of
CDs clean.
The CD and tape units contain self-lubricating bearings, which must not be
oiled or greased.
Never open the device casing under any circumstances. The manufacturer
will not accept any liability for damage resulting from improper handling.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the device is
switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains. Always
remove the mains plug during an electrical storm.
Do not use any cleaning agent, as this may damage the casing. Clean the
device with a clean, moist leather cloth.
Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are
covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain che-
mical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus
resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or
impossible to remove.
You will find a symbol similar to the one shown here on the bottom of the
device.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT means that the laser is designed in such a way
as to ensure that the maximum permissible emission value cannot be
exceeded under any circumstances.
If operating devices or methods other than those specified here are
employed, it may lead to dangerous exposure to emissions.
Invisible laser radiation is emitted if the CD compartment is opened and the
safety locking mechanism is shorted. Do not expose yourself to this radia-
tion.
