                            Safety Precautions

•   The DLS 15™ and the DLS 15P™ loudspeakers can easily reproduce sound pressure levels  

 

 

(SPL)  sufficient enough to cause sever and permanent hearing damage. A great degree of care    

 

should  be taken to pro tect your ears to prolong exposure to SPL in excess of 85dB.

•  For adult use only - Keep out of the reach of children.
•   Be sure all power is turned off before making speaker connections
•  Do not remove the speaker cover or grill under any conditions
•   Always use a power cord that meets the manufactures exact power specifications
•   Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection
•   To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit rain or moisture
•   This speaker is intended for indoor use only, use of this product outdoors voids all warranties.
•   Always mount this speaker in safe and stable matter.
•   Power Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be  
 

 walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords  

 

at  plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the mixer.

•   Heat -The speaker should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,  
 

stoves, or other mixers (including amplifiers) that produce heat
