OVERHEATING
If the permissible operating temperature in the 218 is exceeded, the protective
circuit responds.
Causes for excessive temperature in the 218 may include:
—
Overloading the device by playing music at a very high sound pressure level
for a long period of time
—
Room temperature too high (> 30°C)
—
Insufficient ventilation of the device
To reset the protection function:
1. Switch off the 218 completely by setting the power switch (6) on the back of the
device to OFF position.
2. Wait until the device has cooled down (approx. 30 minutes).
3. If necessary, ensure a lower room temperature and a free placement of the device.
4. Switch the 218 back on with the power switch (6) and press the POWER button (1)
on the front of the device.
Only switch on the device if you are sure that your preamplifier is set to
a low volume.
Avoid listening at high volume levels for long periods of time.
