Safety guidelines

General note: Make sure to read this operating manual care-

fully and in its entirety. Before plugging in the units for the

first time, make sure you have complied with all relevant safety

and operating instructions. Keep this operating manual in a

safe place so you can refer to it at a later date if necessary.

Always: If in doubt, consult the operating manual. Make sure

to comply with all instructions regarding the units' setup and

ongoing operation.

Cleaning: Avoid cleaning the units with domestic cleaning

agents, as these may scratch the surface. Just use a dry cloth.

Before cleaning a unit, always unplug the power cable.

Humidity and sunlight: Never operate the unit in humid or

wet spaces, e.g., near a bath tub, shower, wash basin, drain, in

a damp basement, or near a swimming pool. Never expose the

loudspeaker to humidity, and avoid exposing it to direct sourc-

es of sunlight. Do not expose device to dripping or splashing

water. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases on

the device.

Placement: Never mount the units loosely in a vehicle, on an

unstable surface, on a loose stand, on unsuitable furniture, or

with insufficient bracing. The loudspeakers could topple and

cause personal injuries, which you will be liable for. Especially

when speaker cabinets are mounted on stands or placed on

top of TV sets/monitors, they may topple due to external stress

(cable being pulled, tripping over cable, accidental physical

contact) – even if they seem to be mounted quite securely. As

a result of their weight, toppling speaker cabinets can cause

considerable damage, as well as becoming badly damaged

themselves. The same applies to undersized or unprofession-

ally installed wall-mounting brackets, particularly on light

walls. Always use adequately sized wall brackets for mount-

ing loudspeakers, and ensure that the wall can withstand the

stress. Never mount the units near a heat source. This could

be a heater or oven, but also any other electrical device that

heats up during operation (e.g., amplifier). Similarly, never place

a heat source on top of the loudspeakers, such as a fan heater

or candles.

Ventilation: There are several ventilation slits and openings

in the unit's housing. These are designed to ensure reliable

operation and protect the unit from overheating. Never block

or cover the ventilation slits; do not place the unit on a soft

surface such as a bed, couch, carpet, etc., as this blocks the

ventilation slits in the bottom of the housing. Do not put any

newspapers, tablecloths, etc., on top of the unit. Most impor-

tantly, do not cover up the heatsink of the amplifier section or

expose it to direct sunlight. Conversely, you should generally

not attempt to provide additional cooling to the unit yourself.

This is not necessary.

Power source: Make sure to connect the subwoofer to a power

source that provides the correct voltage, i.e., the voltage in-

dicated on the type plate. If you are unsure about the voltage

provided by your domestic power connection, please contact

us or your local electricity provider for advice. The unit does

not require earthing. When connecting to the mains power

socket, always use the supplied two-pole power cable. Under no

circumstances should you modify the power cable, as it must

comply with the official polarity and earthing regulations. Make

sure to plug the power cable only into a double-pole socket.

Cables: Lay all the cables flush with the floor and walls. Avoid

any loops in your cables that could cause people to trip up.

Cable loops can also cause electrical interference and degrade

the sound quality. Make sure to lay your power cables out of

reach so that they are not stood on or squashed by heavy ob-

jects. If you notice any cable damage, replace the cable. Pay

special attention to all plug connectors, the mains socket, and

the subwoofer's connector panel. Regularly check all powered

cables to and from the loudspeakers for insulation issues and

breakage. If you detect a fault, immediately power down all

connected units, unplug the cables and replace the defective

cable.

Disuse: During prolonged periods of disuse (holidays, etc.), al-

ways unplug the subwoofer from the mains socket.

Thunderstorms: In the event of a thunderstorm, switch off

and unplug the unit as soon as you can in order to avoid dam-

age from lightning strikes.

Overloading: Never overload your wall sockets, extension ca-

bles and multiboxes, or the integrated power sockets on your

electrical devices. Power overloads can cause short circuits

and fires. Also avoid turning up the volume control excessively

on your amplifier, particularly if you are also boosting the bass

frequencies (bass control, loudness button, bass boost button,

etc.).

Liquid and foreign substances: Liquids or other foreign sub-

stances should never get inside the unit, as they may interfere

with exposed live parts and cause short circuits or fires. Abso-

lutely avoid spilling any type of liquid onto the unit. In case of

a fault: Never attempt to repair the unit yourself. Always con-

tact our support team first and discuss the fault with them.

If appropriate, they may give you instructions on how to clear

the fault. If this is not possible, send the unit directly to our

service address.

Transport: Take utmost care when transporting the unit, and

use a sack barrow if possible. Be aware that both the sack bar-

row and the unit can easily fall over as a result of sudden stop-

ping or jolting (uneven ground, lurching movements, etc.).

Replacement parts: During the period of warranty, Laut-

sprecher Teufel will supply all required replacement parts.

Your warranty will not be voided as long as you use Teufel spare

parts to replace any defective components.

Unusual noises: If any unusual noises occur during operation,

or if the sound gets distorted, immediately turn down the am-

plifier volume to a level where the sound returns to normal.

Replacing the fuse:

Unplug the power cable before replacing the fuse. Make sure

that the replacement fuse has the same rating as the defec-

tive fuse.

Speaker volume: Excessive loudspeaker volume can cause ir-

reversible hearing loss. The subwoofer may emit high sound

pressure levels very unexpectedly when it is suddenly trig-

gered into activity by a bass impulse (“Standby/Auto On” mode)

– particularly if the unit is on full volume. As well as physical

hearing loss, also watch out for psychological stress caused by

excessive volume. Children and pets are particularly sensitive

to noise. Always set the volume control of your audio system

to a level that is appropriate to the surroundings. When the

system is playing at high volume, do not stand too closely to

the subwoofer and never put your ears directly up to any of

the loudspeakers.

Please read the following

safety guidelines very

carefully.

Packaging materials,

particularly plastic bags and

foils, should be kept out of

childrens' reach, as these can be

dangerous (e.g., risk

of suffocation).

Never leave your

children alone with electrical

devices, as there is potentially

always a risk of electrical shock.

In case of an emergency:

Immediately disconnect the

unit's power plug from the

mains socket. In the following

cases, please contact one of our

service technicians:

4 Power plug or cable

is damaged

4 Liquid or other foreign

Lautsprecher Teufel is not

liable for any incidents result-

ing from disregard for the

safety guidelines.
