Additionally, the micro system is suitable for the recording of audio cassettes. The micro system is not intended for use in commercial or industrial environments. No warranty claims will be granted for damage resulting from improper use! · Check the device and all parts for visible damages. The safety concept can work only if the device is in a faultless condition. · The power plug must always be easily accessible, so that in the event of an emergency the device can be quickly disconnected from the mains power supply. Risk of explosion! · Do not throw batteries into a fire. Do not recharge the batteries. Risk of electrical shocks. · Connect the device to an electrical wall socket with a mains voltage of 230 V / 50 Hz. · Do not operate the device if the connection cord or the power plug is damaged. · The connection cord or device should be immediately repaired or exchanged by the customer service department if they fail to function faultlessly. · NEVER submerse the device in water. Wipe it only with a slightly damp cloth. · Do not expose the device to rain and never use it in a damp or wet environment. · Make sure that the power cord does not become wet during operation. · You must not open the device housing or repair the device. Should you do so, the safety of the device may be compromised and the warranty becomes void. · Do not place objects containing fluids, e.g. flower vases, on or near the device. · Information concerning power disconnection To completely disconnect the device from the power source the power plug must be removed from the power socket. For this reason the device should be placed in a position where a constant unobstructed access to the power socket is assured, thus in an emergency situation you are able to immediately pull out the power plug. To eliminate the risk of fire you should completely disconnect the power plug from the power socket when the device is not going to be used for a long time, for example, during holidays. · Always grasp the power cord by the plug. Do not pull on the cord itself and never touch the power cord with wet hands as this could result in a short circuit or an electrical shock. Do not place the device, furniture or anything else on the power cord and make sure that it does not become clamped. Never tie knots in the power cord and do not join it to other cables. Place the power cord in a position where it can not be trod on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or electrical shock. Check the power cord from time to time. Should it become damaged contact your nearest authorized customer service centre or dealer to have it replaced. Riskoffire! · Do not use the device in the vicinity of hot surfaces. · Do not place the device in locations that are subject to direct sunlight. Otherwise, it may overheat and become irreparably damaged. · Never leave the device unattended while it is being used. · Never cover the ventilation slots of the device while it is on. Avoid placing this device in locations that provide insufficient ventilation or hot locations and do not place the device in direct sunlight or under strong artificial light sources. -2- Items supplied 1 Micro system 2 Speakers 1 Remote control (incl. 2 x 1.5 V batteries) 1 AM (MW) antenna 1 FM (USW) dipole antenna 1 Operating instruction manual Technical Data Micro system Rated voltage: Power consumption: In standby During operation Backup batteries: 230 V~, 50 Hz 4 Watt 33 Watt 3 x 1,5 V Type AA (not supplied) Radio frequency range: MW (AM): 530 ­ 1600 kHz USW (FM): 87,5 ­ 108 MHz Measurements (W x H x D): 16 x 25,8 x 21 cm Weight : 2,7 kg Speaker power rating.: max. 8 Watt RMS Operating temperature: 5° - 40°C Storage temperature : --20° - 60°C Protection class: II The device's technical details allow for an adjustable frequency range of MW (AM) 522-1620 kHz. In other countries different national regulations regarding the assigned radio frequency ranges can exist. Please note that information received outside of the assigned radio frequency ranges may not be used, passed on to third parties or otherwise misused. Cassette player/recorder Cassettes: Standard cassettes (C-90 or shorter) Tape speed: 4.75 cm/sec. Remote control Batteries: 2 x 1,5 V Type AAA Safety information · Do not permit children to handle electrical appliances without supervision, as they cannot correctly assess the possible dangers of injury. · Unplug the power cord after every use and before cleaning, so as to prevent the device from switching on inadvertently. · Do not place any open sources of fire, like candles, on the device. · When a storm and/or thunderstorm with the risk of lightening threatens please disconnect the device from the mains power. Risk of personal injury! · Keep the power cord and device away from children. Children frequently underestimate the dangers of electrical appliances. · Ensure a safe location for the device. · Do not operate the device if it has sustained a fall or is damaged. Arrange for the device to be checked and/or repaired by qualified technicians. · Batteries should not be allowed to fall into the hands of children. Children can put batteries into their mouths and swallow them. If a battery is swallowed medical assistance must be sought immediately. Danger of eye injuries! · Never look directly into an open CD tray The invisible laser beam could damage your eyes. CAUTION! Information on surge voltage (EFT / rapid electrical transition process) and Electrostatic discharge: In the case of a misfunction due to rapid electrical transition (surge voltage) or electrostatic discharge the product must be reset (it may be necessary to disconnect the power source and then reconnect it) to restore normal operation. Note: A case of electrostatic discharge occurs if one walks with plastic-soled shoes over a carpet that also contains elements of plastic. Through the friction of the shoe soles on the carpet a charge is created in the body which discharges itself as soon as one touches an electricity conducting object, such as for example a door knob or the bodywork of a motor vehicle. Thereby it is sufficient to approach the conductor to within only a few cm. Direct contact is not required to effect a discharge. The charge can also reduce itself over an electrical arc. A discharge is thus also possible through plastic housing components. Note: This device is equipped with non-slip rubber feet. As upper surfaces can comprise of various materials and are treated with various cleaning materials, it cannot be completely excluded that some of these materials contain components that could attack and soften the rubber feet. If possible place an anti-slip material under the feet of the device. Observe copyright laws When recording CDs, cassettes or radio transmissions make sure you observe the copyright regulations of the country in which the device is to be used.
