5. SAFETY

WARNING

Read all safety information below and operating instructions before using this device to avoid injury.

Warning. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, shock or 
other injury or damage to the device or other property.

SAFETY AND HANDLING INFORMATION

It is important that loudspeaker systems are used in a safe manner. 

Avoiding Hearing Damage.

 Professional loudspeakers are capable of producing extremely high sound levels and should be used carefully. 

Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of 
sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Hearing loss get worse every time you’re exposed to a sound level of 
90 dB or over for an extended period of time. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing 
checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. 

Choking Hazards.

 This device contains small parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep the device and its 

accessories away from small children.

Avoiding Water and Wet Locations.

 Do not install the system in wet or humid locations without using weather protection. Take care 

not to spill any food or liquid on the device. In case it gets wet, unplug all cables, turn off the device before cleaning, and allow it to dry 
thoroughly before turning it on again. Do not attempt to dry the device with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven or hair 
dryer. A device that has been damaged as a result of exposure to liquids could be not serviceable. If the device is exposed to rain or 
excess moisture, unplug the power cord immediately.

Keeping the Outside Clean.

 Handle the device with care to maintain its appearance. To clean it, unplug all cables and turn off it. Warning: 

unplugging the power cord is the only way to disconnect power completely. Then use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid getting 
moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean 
the device. 

Carrying, Handling and Installing the device.

 The device contains sensitive components. Do not drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, 

deform, puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or insert foreign objects into it. If your device has been dropped or damaged, or if 
liquid has been spilled into the chassis, unplug the power cord immediately.

Do not operate speakers for an extended period of time with sound distortion. This is an indication of malfunction, which in turn can 
generate heat and result in a fire. 

To reduce the risk of overheating the device, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight and take care to do not install it near heat emitting 
appliances, such as a room heater or stove.

No naked flame sources such as lighted candles should be placed near the device.

Operate the device in a place where the temperature is between -20°C and 50°C (-4°F to 122° F). Avoid dramatic changes in temperature 
or humidity when using it, as condensation may form on or within the device.

During the use, it is normal for the device to get warm. The exterior of the device functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from 
inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
