WARNING

CAUTION

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral  
triangle is intended to alert the user to the prescence of uninsulated  
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, that may be of  
significant magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! DO NOT OPEN!

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT  

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended

NOTE:

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits  

for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits  
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This 
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if 
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause 
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment 
in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the 
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

 

WARNING:

 Operation of THUMP in a residential environment could cause  

radio interference.

 

CAUTION:

 Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by 

LOUD Audio, LLC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment 
under FCC rules.

25.

  This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever  

is applicable) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus  
as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department 
of Communications.

 

Canada ICES-003(A)/NMB-003(A)

ATTENTION 

— Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits 

radioélectriques dépassant las limites applicables aux appareils  

numériques de class A/de class B (selon le cas) prescrites dans  

le réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique édicté par les ministere  

des communications du Canada.

26.

  Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. 

Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss,  
but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense 
noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level 
exposures shown in the following chart.

 

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits 
could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous 
exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons 
exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels 
use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or 
protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating 
the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in 
excess of the limits set forth here:

Duration, per 
day in hours

Sound Level dBA, 
Slow Response
