1. READ INSTRUCTIONS
carefully before operating this product.

.
RETAIN
these instructions.
3. COMPLY WITH WARNINGS -
All warnings and instructions for this
product should be adhered to.
4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS -
In order to avoid damage, it is
advisable to establish and follow a pattern for turning on and off any
sound system. With all system parts connected, turn on source
equipment, tape decks, instruments, mixers, signal processors etc.,
BEFORE turning on your power amplifier. Many products output turn
on and turn off transients that can damage speakers. By turning on
your power amplifier LAST and making sure the amplifier’s input
controls are at minimum any transients “upstream” of the amplifier are
not amplified and passed to the speaker. Wait until all system parts
have stabilised, then bring up amplifier controls to operating level.
This should take no more than a few seconds. Similarly when
shutting systems down, always turn down amplifier input controls and
then turn off your amplifier BEFORE shutting down other components.
Professional amplifiers often feature delayed turn on/off circuits to
perform these functions for you automatically.
5. CABLES -
Never use shielded or microphone cable for any
speaker connection as this will not be heavy enough to handle the
amplifier load and could cause damage to the complete system.
