Warranty / Product Control / Disposal - ELAC Active Monitor AM 150 Bedienungsanleitung

Warranty / Product control / Disposal

Your loudspeakers are maintenance-free. Changes in acoustical behaviour decrease over the years so that the human ear will probably
change even more than the speaker actually does.
Clean your speakers only with a soft, dry and smooth cloth,
or with a dust brush. Do not use scouring powder, alcohol, benzene, French polish, or other agents. Do not
expose your speakers to a relatively high humidity. Temperature variations, humidity and excessive sunlight
may damage the speaker and result in optical changes.
In the case of malfunction of your speakers apply to an expert. Your special dealer will be pleased to help you. If
a loudspeaker should be destroyed through improper use by a second person the repair requires special know-
how in order to provide accurate performance of your speaker.
Warranty
The terms of warranty are regulated individually by the law in the different countries and by the terms of the international ELAC represen-
tatives respectively. If you have not bought your appliance in Germany, please check the terms with your retailer. Warranty can be given
by any special retailer who has been authorised by ELAC or the respective international representative to distribute ELAC products (EU
contract retailers). In the case of warranty, the complete appliance together with the warranty card and the receipt has to be handed over
to the retailer.
Many of today's modern furniture are coated with multiple varnishes and plastics which may be treated with chemical agents. Some of
these agents might contain substances which cauterize or soften the rubber feet. Therefore, we would like to advise you to place an
anti-slip mat underneath the loudspeaker.
Production Control
Every production step is controlled individually. Each part of a loudspeaker (e.g. driver or crossover network) is tested several times,
from the purchase until the final assembly. In the final control every loudspeaker is tested acoustically, i.e. skilled ears check the acoustic
quality of each frequency range.
Our loudspeakers are examined with respect to polarity (incl. polarity of single drivers), distortion, and the SPL frequency responses. In
this the speaker passes a computerised test desk evaluating the appliance independently and releasing it for packaging if the measuring
values are within tolerance.
To be able to observe the tolerance limits, variations e.g. in membrane weight, the magnetic field strength, or the values of the electric
components must be severely restricted, since inaccuracies of single components may add up in the total system. To achieve maximum
production quality, compliance with ELAC quality criteria and guidelines can be regarded as the most important duty.
Loudspeaker Disposal
Please keep the cardboard box and packaging. Since the box and packaging represent the ideal container for the appliance, you should
keep them for future transports.
Material-Specific Disposal
If you want to discard the packaging, please do not put it in the household waste, since here it will be mixed up with other residual mate-
rials. Please, do not give the material to collecting points for paper or other materials, but take it to the dealer's. The packaging repre-
sents an important recoverable material. It consists of EPS (Styrofoam packing parts), PE (bag, foam sheet, and packing parts) as well
as cardboard, which should be returned to the material resources cycle for recycling. We have an agreement with your special dealer to
take back and dispose of the material in a way that guarantees material-specific disposal. Thus, please, take the packaging back to your
dealer for disposal.
Recycling: Support the environmentally-friendly disposal of electronic industry waste.
