are used throughout this manual to alert the reader to

assistance. These terms are defined below:

UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
The Community M12 loudspeaker is inherently rugged and packed in well-designed shipping cartons. It is
recommended that you carefully inspect the unit after removing it from the packaging to check for any
hidden damage due to possible shipping incidents.
CAUTION:
When unpacking and handling an M12 be careful not to scratch or scrape the
black paint on the perforated metal grille. The finish on the grille protects the steel from
corrosion, and any scratches or scrapes that remove the finish leave the steel exposed to
corrosion.
Please note that once the shipment has left Community (or the dealer) the responsibility for damage is
borne by the freight company. If there is damage, you must file a claim directly with the freight company.
Each carrier has its own set of rules and regulations, with their own unique forms to fill out.
You are responsible for contacting the freight company immediately if you discover shipping damage. Save
the carton with all shipping materials in the event you need to ship the unit in order to avoid damage
claims being denied due to the lack of proper packaging. The Community dealer and the factory will try to
help in any way possible, however, please remember it is up to the party receiving the shipment to file the
claim.
