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 not place
objects on the ventilation slots.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the device. Do not insert any for-
eign 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.
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
chemical 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.
General instructions for laser devices
This device meets the requirements for a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
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.
