Watch for these symbols:

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated 

“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 

persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and 

maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.

           IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.   Read these instructions.

2.   Keep these instructions.

3.   Heed all warnings.

4.   Follow all instructions.

5.   Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.   Clean only with dry cloth.

7.   Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8.   Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that 

produce heat.

9.   Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than 

the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided 

for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where 

they exit from the apparatus.

11.  Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12.  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart 

is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14.  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such 

as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has 

been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.  Warning: to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

16.  Do not expose this equipment to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed 

on the equipment.

17.  To completely disconnect this apparatus from the ac mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the ac receptacle.

18.  The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

19.  This apparatus contains potentially lethal voltages. To prevent electric shock or hazard, do not remove the  chassis, input 

module or ac input covers. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

20.  The loudspeakers covered by this manual are not intended for high moisture outdoor environments. Moisture can damage 

the speaker cone and surround and cause corrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to 

direct moisture.

21.  Keep loudspeakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished 

surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposure to intense ultra-violet (UV) light.

22.  The loudspeakers can generate considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, 

the speaker may move due to its acoustical energy output.

23.  Precautions should be taken to assure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.

24.  The loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage 

to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to SPL in excess 

of 90 dB.

This marking shown on the product or its literature, indicates that it should not be disposed with other household wastes at the end 

of its working life. To prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, please separate 

this from other types of wastes and recycle it responsibly to promote the sustainable reuse of material resources. Household users 

should contact either the retailer where they purchased this product, or their local government office, for details of where and 

how they can take this item for environmentally safe recycling. Business users should contact their supplier and check the terms 

and conditions of the purchase contract. This product should not be mixed with other commercial wastes for disposal.

CAUTION

To prevent electric shock hazard,
do not connect to main power
supply while grille is removed.
