CARE AND
MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus STS 800 8-Inch Three-
Way Tower Speaker is an example of
superior design and craftsmanship.
The following suggestions will help you
care for your speaker so you can enjoy
it for years.
• Handle the speaker gently and
carefully. Don’t drop it!
• Use and store the speaker only in
normal temperature environments.
• To maintain the speaker cabinet’s
finish, do not let it come in contact
with water vapor, alcohol, ben-
zene, insecticide, or similar liquids.
Do not place a plastic covering on
top of the speaker, as the plastic’s
color could come off and stick to
the finish.
• Clean the speaker cabinet with a
soft, dry cloth.
Caution: You might permanently
damage your speaker by cleaning
it with a vacuum cleaner. Instead,
use a feather duster or a soft cloth.
• Never touch the speaker elements
with your hands or expose them to
excessive shocks. If they become
dented or bent, the sound distorts.
Modifying or tampering with the speak-
er’s internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate your
speaker’s warranty. If your speaker is
not performing as it should, take it to
your local RadioShack store for assis-
tance.
