Important: Read Before Proceeding! 

 

Read and follow the  

 

Safety Instructions below. 

 

Save all packing materials. The Scout should only be moved or shipped in its 
original packaging to reduce the risk of damage in transit. 

 

The Scout must be placed on a flat, level surface. This will make setup easy, 
provide better sound quality, and put less strain on the main bearing.
