IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Verify Line Voltage Before Use

The JBL BAR 5.0 MULTIBEAM (soundbar) has been designed 
for use with 100-240 volt, 50/60 Hz AC current. Connection to 
a line voltage other than that for which your product is intended 

can create a safety and fire hazard and may damage the unit. If 
you have any questions about the voltage requirements for your 
specific model or about the line voltage in your area, contact your 
retailer  or  customer  service  representative  before  plugging  the 

unit into a wall outlet.

Do Not Use Extension Cords

To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord supplied 

with your unit. We do not recommend that extension cords be 

used with this product. As with all electrical devices, do not run 
power cords under rugs or carpets, or place heavy objects on 

them.  Damaged  power  cords  should  be  replaced  immediately 
by an authorized service center with a cord that meets factory 
specifications. 

Handle the AC Power Cord Gently

When disconnecting the power cord from an AC outlet, always 

pull the plug; never pull the cord. If you do not intend to use this 

speaker for any considerable length of time, disconnect the plug 
from the AC outlet.

Do Not Open the Cabinet

There are no user-serviceable components inside this product. 
Opening  the  cabinet  may  present  a  shock  hazard,  and  any 
modification  to  the  product  will  void  your  warranty.  If  water 
accidentally falls inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power 
source immediately, and consult an authorized service center.
