IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ INSTRUCTIONS

 - All safety and operating 

instructions should be read before the 

GigaWorks S750 

amplified subwoofer/satellite system 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 usage 

instructions should be followed.

CLEANING

 - Unplug the subwoofer 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 Creative Technology as they may 
cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE

 - Do not use the subwoofer 

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 the 

GigaWorks S750 

system on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or 
table. The subwoofer or satellites may fall, causing 
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to 
the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, 
bracket, or table recommended by Creative 
Technology, or sold with the product. Any mounting of 
the satellites or subwoofer should follow the 
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting 
accessory recommended by Creative Technology.

VENTILATION

 - Slots and openings in the cabinet are 

provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of 
the subwoofer and to prevent it from overheating; and 
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 surface. 
The subwoofer should not be placed in a built-in 
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper 

ventilation is provided or Creative Technology’s 
instructions have been adhered to.

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 should be 

operated only from the type of power source indicated 
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of 
power supply to your home, consult your product 
dealer or local power company. For products intended 
to operate from battery power or other sources, refer 
to the operating instructions.

POLARIZATION

 - The subwoofer may be equipped 

with a polarised 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 
polarised plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION

 - Power-supply cords 

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

LIGHTNING

 - For added protection for the 

GigaWorks 

S750 

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 damage to the 
subwoofer due to lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING

 - Do not overload wall outlets, 

extension cords, or integral convenience 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 subwoofer through openings as 
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out 
parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never 
spill liquid of any kind on the subwoofer.

SERVICING

 - Do not attempt to service the subwoofer 

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you 
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all 
servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

 - Unplug the 

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

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b) If liquid has been spilled, or object have fallen into the 

subwoofer.

c) If the subwoofer has been exposed to rain or water.

d) If the subwoofer does not operate normally by 

following the operating instructions; or exhibits a 
distinct change in performance.

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

 - When replacement parts are 

required, be sure the service technician has used 
replacement parts specified by Creative Technology, or 
have the same characteristics as the original part. 
Unauthorised substitutions may result in fire, electric 
shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK 

- Upon completion of any service or 

repairs to the 

GigaWorks S750 

system, ask the service 

technician to perform safety checks to determine that 
the

 GigaWorks S750 

system is in proper operating 

condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING

 - The 

GigaWorks 

S750 

satellites should be mounted to a wall or ceiling 

only as recommended by Creative Technology.
