Quinta – Safety Instructions
4
Switching off
• In order to switch off the device disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
Disconnect
• For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Maintenance
• Only clean the equipment with a slightly damp or dry cloth. Never use solvents as these damage the surface.
Troube shooting and servicing
• Do not open the equipment without authorisation. You could receive an electric shock. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Leave all service work to authorised expert personnel.
Charger
• Use only the CD2 charger or Quinta SC power supply unit to charge the rechargeable batteries integrated in the microphone units.
• Never remove the base foam section from the CD2 charger. There are no parts that can be serviced in the interior of the charger.
• The charger has been designed for charging the rechargeable batteries in the Quinta microphone stations. Only charge
Quinta microphone units and no other battery operated equipment. The batteries could explode and injure you or damage the equipment.
• If you use the charger with accessories which have not been developed for it, this could result in a fire, an electric shock or physical injury.
• Never try to repair the charger yourself. There is a risk of an electric shock or causing a fire.
• Never use the charger as a mains power supply unit for electrical equipment.
1.2 Quinta MU Microphone Unit
Set up
• Always position the microphone units on a secure surface. If the microphone unit falls down, you can hurt yourself or others or damage
the microphone down.
• To align the gooseneck microphone on the microphone station and to avoid twisting it too far and causing premature wear,
please note that the gooseneck must be bent no further than an angle of 90° maximum.
Risk of injury
• If the microphone stations have a gooseneck microphone take care that you do not injure yourself on this e.g. poke it into your eye.
• The charging contacts of the microphone units can cause damage to property, injuries or fire damage if they come into contact with
conductive material such as jewellery, keys or chains. This closes the circuit and can thus cause the material to heat up. To avoid this sort of
unwanted circuit, the charging contacts must be handled with caution. This applies particularly if the microphone units are transported in
a bag or some other container together with metal objects.
Charging / rechargeable batteries
• When charging the microphone unit in the charger, take care to ensure that you do not injure yourself when putting the station in or
taking it out.
• Only switch on the charger when you have inserted all microphone units. Empty charging compartments should never be touched during
the charging process. You could receive an electric shock.
• Avoid letting the rechargeable batteries in the microphone unit become too deeply discharged. The rechargeable batteries could be
damaged and the life of them could be reduced.
• If battery operated equipment is not used for a lengthy period (e.g. 1 year) the self-discharge of the battery could be accelerated. The
temperature for long-term storage should be between +10° C and +30° C.
• If the microphone units are not used for several months, the rechargeable batteries in the microphone units should be charged up at least
twice a year in order to avoid them running out and deterioration in the performance due to self discharge.
Volume
• If the participants of a meeting use a headphone with the Quinta microphone stations, please make sure that the volume is
not set too high via the Quinta Conference software or the microphone unit itself. Otherwise, the hearing of the participants
could permanently be damaged.
1.3 Disposal
• Old batteries may contain substances that are harmful to your health and environment.
• The device provides built-in rechargeable batteries, which you cannot remove yourself, therefore, return the device to your dealer for
recycling when the batteries are exhausted.
• All batteries are recycled to reclaim valuable material such as iron, zinc or nickel.
• This symbol on the product, in the instructions or on the packaging means that your electrical and electronic equipment should be
disposed at the end of its life separately from your household waste. There are separate collection systems for recycling in the EU.
