ASSEMBLY AND SAFETY

Please read the following instructions before assembly:
The Soundbar is designed for audio playback. All other uses are expressly excluded.
If you want to set up the Soundbar on shelving units, in cupboards, etc., please ensure that there is adequate ventilation. There must be a free area of at least 10 cm on either side and above the Soundbar.
Do not cover the Soundbar with newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
When setting up the Soundbar, please note that furniture surfaces may be covered with various finishes or synthetic materials that often contain chemical substances. These substances can attack the material of the unit base among other things. This can leave residues on the furniture surface, which may be difficult or impossible to remove.
If the Soundbar is subjected to big variations in temperature, for example when transported from a cold to a warm place, do not use the Soundbar for at least two hours.
The Soundbar is designed to be used in dry rooms. Should you nevertheless decide to operate it outdoors, you must ensure that it is protected from moisture (dripping or splashing water).
Only use the Soundbar in a temperate climate.
Do not place the Soundbar close to a radiator or in direct sunlight; this can affect the cooling system.
Do not place any containers with liquids inside (e.g. vases) on top of the Soundbar.
Do not place any open sources of fire (e.g. candles) on top of the Soundbar.
Do not use any cleaning agents; these may damage the casing. Cleanse the device using a clean and dry cloth.
Do not expose the battery to extreme heat, such as for example sunlight, radiators, fire, etc.
The remote control contains a button cell. Please always keep the remote control and the button cell out of reach of children.
If the button cell is accidentally swallowed, it can lead to burns and even death within two hours.
You should therefore see a doctor immediately.
Keep new and used batteries out of reach of children. If the battery compartment cannot be closed safely, do not continue to use the device and keep out of reach of children.
Remove the battery if used up or if you do not use the device for a long time. We do not assume liability for damage caused by leaked batteries.
The batteries, even those free from heavy metals, must not be disposed of as domestic waste. Used batteries must be discarded in used battery collection containers found at commercial or public waste management services.
You must never open the Soundbar. In case of damage due to improper tampering, any claims for guarantee are lost.
Storms are a danger to any electronic device. Even if the Soundbar is switched off, it may still become damaged as a result of lightning striking the mains. In case of a storm, you must always pull the mains plug.
Notes:
Do not connect any devices when your device is switched on. Also switch the other devices off before connecting them!
Do not plug the mains plug of your device into the socket until all external devices have been connected!
