SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES 

 

These speakers are intended for indoor use only. 

 

Do not expose these speakers to water or moisture of any kind. 

 

If operating these speakers in a humid environment, ensure that no condensation 
occurs. Condensation could cause damage to the speaker cones and voice coils. 

 

Power off and unplug all Audio/Video components when making wired 
connections. Only apply power after all connections have been made. 

 

Double-check all connections prior to applying power to ensure that speaker 
polarity is properly made and that there are no stray wire strands, which could short 
the connections, either on the backs of the speakers or the AV receiver/amplifier. 

 

Do not use full volume until after the speakers have 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 can 
damage or destroy the delicate speaker coils. 

 

Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, or other chemicals to clean the speaker frames 
or grilles. 

 

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 disassemble or attempt to service these speakers. 

 

You must use speaker wire rated for in-wall use. 

 

Do not attempt to install these speakers near power outlets, wall switches, or 
ceiling fixtures. These objects indicate the presence of AC power lines within the 
wall or ceiling and should be avoided. 

 

Always check and adhere to your local building and fire safety codes before 
installing these speakers and running wires through the walls and ceiling.
