Safety notes

For your own safety please be sure to read right through these operating
instructions before you use the system. It is especially important to observe the
following safety notes.
The loudspeakers may only be operated in a dry indoor room.
Like any other electrical apparatus, these loudspeakers should never be used
without proper supervision.
If the speakers are not to be used for a long period, we recommend that you
isolate them from the mains by pulling out the plug at the wall socket.
The power supply required for these loudspeakers is printed on the rear face of
the cabinet. The speakers must never be connected to any other form of power
supply.
Mains leads must be deployed in such a way that there is no danger of damage to
them (e.g. through persons treading on them or from furniture). Take particular
care with plugs, distribution panels and connections at the loudspeakers. Do not
exert undue force on the mains connectors.
The loudspeakers must be set up in such a way that there is no chance of
anyone - especially children - touching the electrical connections.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as candle lights on the device.
Protect the unit from drips and splashes of water; never place flower vases or
fluid containers on the unit.
The electrostatic treble unit employed in the CWT SE, operate at very high
voltage. All parts carrying high voltages are protected using contact guard
grilles. These grilles must never be removed. Touching any internal parts of the
electrostatic driver is highly dangerous, as the voltages present are capable of
causing death.
You must never push any object through the grilles. Avoid fluids of any kind
getting inside the treble units or the valve output stage at all costs. However, if
foreign bodies or liquids should get into the treble units, disconnect the speaker
from the mains immediately. The speaker must then be checked by an
authorised  service centre before being used again.
With the exception of the connections and procedures described in these
instructions, no work of any kind may be carried out on the loudspeakers by the
user.
The loudspeakers should only ever be opened by a qualified technician.
Repairs and fuse replacements should be entrusted to an authorised 
specialist workshop.
If a speaker should be damaged, or if you suspect that it is not functioning
correctly, immediately disconnect the mains plug at the wall socket and ask an
authorised  specialist workshop to check the unit.
Always disconnect the loudspeakers from the mains supply before cleaning
them.
Never use abrasive or solvent-based cleaning agents.
For polishing the cabinets use only the also delivered polish.
Before switching the loudspeakers on again, check carefully that no short-
circuits exist at the terminals, and that you have not disturbed any connections.
