Important safety instructions

Before using your VHD4.21, be sure to carefully read the applicable items of these operating 

instructions and the safety suggestions. 

  1.  Read all product instructions.
  2.  Keep printed instructions, do not throw away.
  3.  Respect and rewiew all warnings.
  4.  Follow all instructions.
  5.  Do not use this unit near water, in unprotected out door areas or in rain or wet conditions.
  6.  Clean only with dry cloth.
  7.  Do not block any ventilation openings.
  8.  Install in accordance with KV2 Audio's recommended installation instructions.
  9.  Do not install near any heat sources such as heat radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus
    that produce heat.
 10.  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding type plug. A grounding type plug has two blades
    and a third grounding connector. The third connector is provided for your safety. If the provided plug  
    does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
 11.  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles.
    The AC mains plug or appliance coupler shall remain readily accessible for operation.
 12.  Only use accessories specified by KV2 Audio.
 13.  Install the product only with rigging specified by KV2 Audio, or sold with the loudspeaker.
 14.  Unplug this loudspeaker during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
 15.  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the loudspeaker has been
    damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug has been damaged; liquid has been  
    spilled or objects have fallen into the loudspeaker; rain or moisture has entered the loudspeaker;  
    the loudspeaker has been dropped; or when for undetermined reasons the loudspeaker does not operate  
   normally.
 16.  Do not remove front or back panels. Removal of the panel will expose hazardous voltages.
    There are no user serviceable parts inside and removable may void the warranty.
 17.  An experienced user shall always supervise this professional audio equipment.  

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE PANELS.
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. 

WARNING: 

To prevent fire or electric shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. 

SAFETY SUMMARY
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the loudspeaker from the AC mains before installing audio cable.
Reconnect the power cord only after making all signal connections. Connect the loudspeaker to a twopole, three- wire
grounding mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to a fuse or circuit breaker. Connection to any other
type of receptacle poses a shock hazard and may violate local electrical codes. Do not allow water or any foreign object
to get inside the loudspeaker. Do not put objects containing liquid on or near the unit. To reduce the risk of overheating 
the loudspeaker, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. Do not install the unit near heat-emitting appliances, such as 
a room heater or stove. This loudspeaker contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble 
the unit. The unit contains no user serviceable parts, repairs should be performed only by factory trained service 
personnel.
