IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and op-

erating instructions should be read before
the 

Model Twelve is operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and

operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the

amplifier and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating

and user instructions should be followed.

CLEANING  - Unplug the power supply

adapter from the wall outlet or other power
source before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments

not recommended by Cambridge
SoundWorks as they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the

Model Twelve near water—for example,
near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near
a swimming pool; and the like.

ACCESSORIES - Do not place any part of

the 

Model Twelve on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. It may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult,
and serious damage to the product. Posi-
tion the parts of the 

Model Twelve accord-

ing to the instructions.

VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the

Model Twelve amplifier are provided for
ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
the amplifier and to prevent it from over-
heating. These openings must not be
blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur-
face. The 

Model Twelve should not be

placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack unless proper ventila-
tion is provided.

HEAT - All parts of the 

Model Twelve should

be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, and
other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

POWER SOURCES - The 

Model Twelve

should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the power sup-
ply label. If you are not sure of the type of
power source to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.

POLARIZATION - The power supply adapter

may be equipped with a polarized alter-
nating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to re-
place your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION - AC power

cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, pay-
ing particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the power supply
adapter.

LIGHTNING  - For added protection for the

Model Twelve system during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet. This will prevent dam-
age to the subwoofer due to lightning and
power-line surges.

OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall out-

lets, extension cords, or integral conve-
nience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push

objects of any kind into the 

Model Twelve

through openings as they may touch dan-
gerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the sub-
woofer.

SERVICING - Do not attempt to service the

Model Twelve yourself as opening or re-
moving covers may expose you to dan-
gerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE -  Unplug

the power supply adapter of the 

Model

Twelve from the wall outlet or other power
source and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following con-
ditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug
is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects
have fallen into the subwoofer.
c) If the 

Model Twelve has been exposed

to rain or water.
d) If the 

Model Twelve does not operate

normally by following the operating in-
structions; or exhibits a distinct change
in performance.
e) If the 

Model Twelve has been dropped

or damaged in any way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replace-

ment parts are required, be sure the ser-
vice technician has used replacement
parts specified by Cambridge SoundWorks
or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any

service or repairs to the 

Model Twelve,

ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the 

Model Twelve

is in proper operating condition.
