Safety Information

Precautions for the Unit

SECURITY

• Before operation, check if the voltage of the unit is in line with the local voltage.

• Hold the plug to disconnect it from the mains outlet. Do not pull the power cord.

• When the plug of the unit is connected to the mains outlet, the unit will be still connected to

DC even of the power is turned off.

• Disconnect the plug as soon as liquid or objects enter the unit. The unit cannot be used until being checked by experts.

• Do not open the cabinet. Laser rays employed by the unit may damage eyes. Any servicing should be done by quali fi ed service personnel.

PLACEMENT

• Put the unit where ventilation is good enough to prevent overheating.

• Never put the unit in direct sunlight or near heat sources.

• To protect the pickup, do not put the unit where there is a lot of dust. If there is dust on the pickup, use a cleaning disc to clean it. Refer to the operation instructions of the cleaning disc you bought.

CONDENSATION

• The unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place.

• Use of the unit in a humid place.

• In these cases, the unit will not work.

Unloading the disc and leaving the unit on for about one hour will evaporate the water, allowing the unit to function normally again.

CLEANING

• Use a soft cloth with a little neutral detergent to wipe the cabinet, panel and controls. Never use abrasive paper, polishing powder or any solvent such as alcohol or gasoline.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

Unpacking the Unit

Carefully remove the unit from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit. Check that all the following items are in the box:

• Wireless main unit

• iPod adapter (x8)

If any item is missing, consult your dealer immediately.

We suggest that you retain the original carton and packing materials in case it is necessary to return your unit for service. This is the only way to protect the unit from damage in transit.

When you dispose of the carton and packing materials, please do so properly. We care about our environment.

Remove any descriptive labels or stickers from the front panel of the unit. Do not remove any labels or stickers that may be af fi xed to the back panel of the wireless main unit or the speakers.

Protect your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber feet to prevent the product from moving when you operate the controls. These feet are made from non-migrating rubber material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your furniture. However certain types of oil based furniture polishes, wood preservatives, or cleaning sprays may cause the rubber feet to soften, and leave marks or a rubber residue on the furniture. To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase small self-adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement centers everywhere, and apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber feet before you place the product on fi ne wooden furniture.

• AC adapter (2 large, 1 small)

Basic System Setup

Choosing a Location for your

System

Setting up a wireless audio system allows you much more exibility than with conventional wired speakers. Wireless speakers may be placed anywhere within the room, or in another room within 100 feet of the wireless main unit. Since there is no physical connection between the system components, feel free to be creative with your system layout. DGTEC wireless systems are also wall-mountable for additional fl exibility.

Minimum Separation from Other

Devices

• To avoid interference, maintain the following distances between system components

(wireless main unit and wireless speakers) and other electronic devices that use the same radio frequency (2.4 GHz band).

• The wireless audio system will automatically seek a clear channel if any of these other devices interfere with its communication.

When this happens the “Link” indicator fl ashes on the speakers (refer to page 12) and there is a brief interruption in the audio coming from the speakers. This is the normal operation of the product working to assure the best possible performance of your wireless audio system. If the interference persists, try moving the other devices to another location, or move the wireless main unit or wireless speakers farther from the interfering devices.

A Word about Wireless Products

The DGTEC Audio System with Wireless

Speakers uses state-of-the-art wireless transceiver technology operating in the 2.4GHz frequency band. This same frequency band is used for wireless LANs, microwave ovens and some cordless phones. Typical operating range in a residential or of fi approximately 100ft. As with all wireless devices, the DG-1008i operating range may vary depending upon building construction, building materials, atmospheric conditions and sources of interference. The presence of substantial amounts of metal and concrete in a building’s structure may reduce operating range.

NOTE:

• Do not place the wireless main unit in a metal cabinet or bookshelf.

• Depending on your wall thickness and material, the operating range may be reduced.

Care and Maintenance

Compact Disc Care

To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Finger prints and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.

Unlike conventional records, compact discs have no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. Wipe in a straight line from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.

Clean the disc periodically with a soft, lint-free, dry cloth. Never use detergents or abrasive cleaners to clean the disc. If necessary, use a CD cleaning kit. Never write on or af fi x labels to the surface of compact discs.

Care of the Cabinet

If the cabinet becomes dusty, wipe it with a soft dry dust cloth. Do not use any wax, polish sprays, or abrasive cleaners on the cabinet.

Caution

Never allow any water or other liquids to get inside the unit while cleaning.
