  If operating this speaker in a humid environment, ensure that no condensation

detergents. For stubborn deposits, moisten the cloth with warm water. 

  Do not use excessive volume when listening to these speakers. If you experience 

pain, discomfort, or dizziness, reduce volume immediately. Prolonged exposure 
to excessive volume can cause permanent hearing damage. 

  Do not stick any objects inside the front port. 

  Take care not to touch the exposed speaker cones on the front of the unit. 

  Do not use full volume until after the speaker has been fully broken-in. 

  If you hear distortion reduce the volume until the distortion is no longer audible. 

Distortion can sound like a buzzing, scratching, or hammering sound. Distortion
