Please read theentire instruction manual before using theproduct and then save

it for future reference. We reserve theright for any errors in text or images and any

necessary changes made to technical data. If you have any questions concerning

technical problems please contact our Customer Services.

1. Safety

• The radio should not be taken apart or modiﬁed. Certain non-shielded

components inside thecasing of theradio carry dangerous current. Contact with

these can lead to ﬁre or electric shock.

• The radio is intended for indoor useonly.

• Never subject theradio to high temperature, dust, heavy vibration, impacts,

humidity or moisture.

• Do not place theradio in anunstable position where there is arisk that it may

fall into water or other liquids. Donot place any objects containing liquid onto

theradio, e.g. ﬂower vases or drinks.

• Do not cover theradio. Adequate ventilation with adistance of at least 10 cm

between ventilation holes and thesurrounding area is necessary to prevent

theradio from becoming toowarm.

• Disconnect theradio from thepower supply by unplugging themains adaptor from

thewall socket.

• Protect your hearing. Listening on high volume for prolonged periods can lead to

permanent hearing loss.

• Repairs and service should only be performed by qualiﬁed tradesmen, and only

with original spareparts.

• The radio must not be dismantled or modiﬁed in anyway.

• Only use thesupplied mains adaptor.

• The radio must not be used close to medical equipment such as in intensive care

units. Neither should it be used in close proximity to someone with animplanted

pacemaker, cardioverter-deﬁbrillator or similar.
