POWER-CORD PROTECTION

– The AC power cords

should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on. No object should bring weight to bear on
to the AC power cords.

LIGHTNING

– For added protection for the subwoofer

or control module during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug them from the wall outlet. This will prevent
damage to the subwoofer or control module due to
lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING

– Do not overload wall outlets, exten-

sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

– Never use probes of

any kind to reach into the subwoofer or control module
as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquid of any kind on the subwoofer, control mod-
ule or control module power supply.

SERVICING

– Do not attempt to service the subwoofer

or control module yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

– Unplug the sub-

woofer or control module from the wall outlet or other
power source and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:

a)

When the power-cord or plug is damaged.

b)

If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the subwoofer or control module.

c)

If the subwoofer or control module has been
exposed to rain or water.

d)

If the subwoofer or control module does not operate
normally by following the operating instructions; or
exhibits a distinct change in performance.

e)

If the subwoofer or control module has been
dropped or damaged in any way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

– When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by Cambridge
SoundWorks or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Substandard substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK 

- Upon completion of any service or

repairs to the subwoofer or control module, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to deter-
mine that the subwoofer or control module is in proper
operating condition.

READ INSTRUCTIONS 

– All safety and operating

instructions should be read before the subwoofer is
operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS

– The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS

– All warnings on the subwoofer

and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

– All operating and use

instructions should be followed.

CLEANING

– Unplug the subwoofer or control module

from the wall outlet or other power source before clean-
ing. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

ATTACHMENTS

– Do not use any adapters or attach-

ments not recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks
as they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE

– Do not use the subwoofer

or control module near water-for example, near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet
basement; or near a swimming pool or other similar
areas.

ACCESSORIES

– Do not place the subwoofer on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The sub-
woofer may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult and serious damage to the product.

VENTILATION

– Slots, openings and metal fins in the

cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable
operation of the subwoofer and to prevent it from over-
heating. These areas must not be blocked or covered
such as by placing the product on a bed, sofa, very
deep pile rug, or other similar surface. The subwoofer
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack.

HEAT

– The subwoofer should be situated away from

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

POWER SOURCES 

– The subwoofer or control module

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

POLARIZATION

– The subwoofer is equipped with a

polarized alternating-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 replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
