UG10526-2.0 - Stasys Xair User Guide V2.0

1.1 Important safety instructions

The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol 
within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the 
user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous 
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may 
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of 
electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle 
is intended to alert the user of the presence of 
important operating and maintenance (servicing) 
instructions in the literature accompanying the 
appliance.

Safety instructions - read this first

1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with 
the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat source such as radiators, heat 
registers, stoves, or other such apparatus that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A 
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. 
The third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug 
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement 
of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect power cords from being walked on or pinched 
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where 
they exit the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments and accessories specified by Void 
Acoustics.
12. Only use with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified 
by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is 
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to 
avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug the apparatus during lightning storms or when unused 
for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing 
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, 
such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the 
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 
normally, or has been dropped.
15. Since the mains power supply cord attachment plug is used to 
disconnect the device, the plug should always be easily accessible.
16. Void loudspeakers can produce sound levels capable of 
causing permanent hearing damage from prolonged exposure. 
The higher the sound level, the less exposure needed to cause 
such damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to the high sound levels 
from the loudspeaker.

1.2 Limitations

This guide is provided to help familiarise the user with the 
loudspeaker system and its accessories. It is not intended to 
provide comprehensive electrical, fire, mechanical and noise 
training and is not a substitute for industry-approved training. Nor 
does this guide absolve the user of their obligation to comply 
with all relevant safety legislation and codes of practice. While 
every care has been taken in creating this guide, safety is user-
dependent and Void Acoustics Research Ltd cannot guarantee 
complete safety whenever the system is rigged and operated.
