Important Notice

The serial number for the GigaWorks S750/S700/

loudspeaker system at excessive sound pressure 
levels!

In a typical personal computer installation, the 
GigaWorks S750/S700 satellite speakers are less 
than a meter from the listener.

If you do not hear sound from your new speaker, keep 
the GigaWorks S750/S700's volume control at a low 
level (two Level Indicators lit on the wired remote 
control) while trying to restore sound to your system. 
This will prevent accidental operation at 
uncomfortably loud levels.
