arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your C 245BEE,
this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many
otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper
shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

are hazardous live. External wiring connected to these
terminals requires installation by an instructed person or
the use of ready-made leads or cords.
Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft
of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal’s plastic bushing until the
hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into
the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing.
Ensure bare wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back panel or
another socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2” (1cm) of bare cable or pin and
no loose strands of speakers wire.
