6. Cleaning

– Clean with a lint free cloth-Do not use any solvent based cleaners. A slightly

damp cloth can also be used on the enclosure surfaces and woofer surrounds.

7. Ventilation

– Do not block any ventilation opening, including the Linear Dynamics

Aperture Port on the LSR monitor systems, by installing these products in accordance with
manufacturers instructions. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other apparatus that produce heat.

8. Grounding and Power Cords

– The power cord supplied with your powered LSR prod-

uct has a 3-pin type plug. Do not cut off or damage the grounding pin and once again,
don’t use in a shower. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electri-
cian for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on,
or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit the
apparatus.

All powered LSR products are fitted with a detachable power cord (supplied) which con-
nects to the chassis AC connector. The power cord has an IEC female connector on one end
and a male mains connector on the other end. This cord is supplied specifically to accom-
modate the different safety and electrical code requirements of individual countries. If you
are traveling abroad with your system, test the power mains and be aware of any specific
voltage requirements before operating your system.

9. Options

– Only use attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer.

10. Non-use Periods

– Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms, earthquakes, fires,

floods, locusts, or when unused for long periods of time.

11. Servicing

– Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required

when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the LSR monitor, the monitor
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, exhibits signs of schizo-
phrenia or other psychosis, or has been dropped.

12. Wall or Ceiling Mounting

– The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling

only as recommended by the manufacturer.

13. Carts and Stands

– The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is rec-

ommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and
cart combination to overturn.
