General Safety Guidelines
Please read the following safety tips carefully! They include several precautions you should
always observe when dealing with electronic equipment. Read all of the instructions before
operating your device.
Suitable Operating Conditions
• Use the device in enclosed rooms only.
• Never use the device under damp conditions such as in bathrooms, washrooms or around
indoor swimming pools.
• Do not use the device in extremely dusty or dirty environments.
• Make sure that adequate ventilation is available at all sides of the device.
• Do not place the device near heat sources such as radiators.
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
• Do not expose the device to extreme vibrations.
Power Supply
• Never use a different power supply or cable than the one that came with the microQ.
• Never install a different plug. If the included power supply is not equipped with a suitable
plug for your local sockets, take the microQ and the power supply to a qualified electrician.
• Unplug the device when you are not using it for longer periods.
• Never touch the plug with wet hands.
• Always pull the plug when unplugging the device, never the cable.
Operation
• Never place objects containing liquids on or near the device.
• Place the device on a stable base only. Use a suitable platform or rack.
• Make sure no foreign objects find their way into the chassis. If for some reason this should
occur, switch the power off, unplug the device and consult a qualified repair center.
• This device, used on its own or with amplifiers, speakers or headphones, can generate
volume levels that may do irreparable damage to your hearing. For this reason you should
keep the volume at tolerable levels.
Maintenance
• Do not open the device or remove the cover. Refer all service and repair tasks to qualified
personnel. The interior of the chassis contains no components that require user maintenance.
• Use only a dry, soft cloth or brush to clean the device. Never use alcohol, cleaning solutions
or similar chemicals. They will damage the surface of the chassis.
