Safety Precautions

At AV123, we don’t want to see any of our 

customers experience the inconvenience 

or unfortunate mishap of a precaution that 

was ignored. Please review the following 

precautions so you may enjoy your AV123 

ELT525 speakers without unnecessary 

damage or misuse.

1) If you suspect you have a component failure in 

your speakers at any time, please call AV123 for help. Our experts can assist you in diagnosis and, if 

necessary, provide you with field repair parts where applicable. Our goal is your complete satisfaction.

2) Do not lift these speakers if you feel strain or they are just plain too heavy for you. The weight of each 

AV123 ELT525 speaker is listed in the Technical Specifications section of this manual for your reference.

3) When lifting these speakers, do so with caution. If you need to use a cart or hand truck to move them 

around to their final destination, please do so with care and caution. Odd shaped boxes may require a 2 

person lift even if the weight of the box does not seem prohibitive. 

4) Do not install these speakers near water (or expose them to water) or any other liquids. If you have a 

place in the basement that floods or a leaky roof in certain spots, do not install your AV123 ELT525 (or 

any other home entertainment equipment) in that location. Use good judgment, but if you are not sure 

if your chosen location is acceptable, chances are you should call us. It never hurts to ask. 

5) Do not poke, prod, or “heavily pet” these speakers. Do not set drinks on them (or it’s just about 

guaranteed the drinks will leave a ring and spill too). Do not use the speakers as tables or chairs. 

Whenever possible, ask the kids and pets to play elsewhere than on (or directly in front of) the 

speakers. All of these suggestions come from many years of experience by our AV123 experts so you 

can trust the origin. 

6) Do not install these speakers near a heat source such as a floor heater, space heater, fireplace, stove, 

heat register, active volcano, or any other device (including amplifiers) that may radiate heat. 

7) These speakers in a home entertainment environment can easily produce high sound pressure levels 

that can impair hearing if you (or other listeners) undergo extended exposure. Use caution when 

listening at high volumes and, by all means, please discontinue use if your ears are ringing. If you must 

play these speakers at extremely high volumes, we recommend the use of OSHA approved hearing 

protection.

8) Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Keep this manual for future reference.

IMPORTANT!

PLEASE READ THESE
