Dear customer,
Thank you for choosing the Magnat MR 780 vacuum tube receiver.
Please read the following information carefully before starting to use the MR 780.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual
contains important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe
all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe location.
•
WARNING NOTICES: All of the warning symbols on the device, accessories and in the instruction
manual itself must be adhered to.
•
EXPOSURE TO HEAT: Only operate the device and accessories in a temperature range from 10°C to
40°C.
•
The device should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked
flames, etc.). When setting up close to an amplifier a minimum distance of 10 cm must be
maintained.
•
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the device.
•
Pay attention to a sufficient ventilation of the device. The device may not be covered, e.g. by drapes,
curtains. Maintain a distance of 20 cm to walls.
•
EFFECT OF MOISTURE: The device should not be exposed to dripping or splash water. Neither
should it be used to support vases or other containers filled with liquid. Do not expose the device
to water or high levels of humidity. There is a danger of electric shock. In the event of contact with
moisture or liquids the device should be disconnected from the mains immediately..
•
FOREIGN MATERIAL: Ensure that no foreign material enters through the device openings and into
the interior. This could trigger short circuits and even result in electric shock and fire.
•
CLEANING: Please use a soft, dry cloth with no cleaning agents, sprays or chemical solvents, as
these could damage the surfaces.
•
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Please note the voltage levels on the information signs. The device
should only be operated with the voltage and frequency values specified on the signs.
•
LIGHTNING PROTECTION/PREVENTIVE MEASURES: If the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the
plug. The device should also be disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing
this will prevent damage caused by lightning and overvoltage.
•
MAINS CABLE: The mains cable must always be suitable for operation and it should only ever be
laid out in a manner that prevents it from being trodden on. It should not be pinched by objects
either, as this can damage the cable. When using plugs and power strips it must be ensured that
the cable is not kinked at the point where it emerges from the socket. Do not connect or remove the
mains cable with damp hands.
•
The mains plug is used as the disconnecting device. Disconnecting devices shall remain readily
operable.
•
OVERLOAD: Sockets, power strips and extension cables should not be overloaded. If an overload
occurs, there is a risk of electric shock and fire.
•
SETTING UP: Please read the installation instructions.
•
The device should only be positioned or mounted on a solid surface and not on moving base frames,
otherwise there is a risk of injury.
•
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
•
BATTERIES (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat, such as
sunshine, fire and the like.
•
CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
