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 compo-

nents 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 to 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.

• When checking for the presence of objects 

behind the wall, do not try to force the wire 

past obstructions.

• Always check and adhere to your local building 

and fire safety codes before installing these 

speakers and running wires through the walls 

and ceiling.
