The terms caution, warning, and danger may be used in this manual to alert the reader

CAUTION:
Installation of I SERIES loudspeakers should only be performed
by trained and qualified personnel. It is strongly recommended that a licensed
and certified professional structural engineer approve the mounting. Severe
injury and/or loss of life may occur if this product is improperly installed.
UNPACKING / INSPECTION
Community I SERIES rigging accessories
are engineered and manufactured
to be rugged and they are carefully
packed in sturdy cartons. However, it is
recommended to thoroughly inspect each
unit after it has been removed from the
packaging, as damage could occur during
shipping.
Please note that once the shipment has
left your dealer or the Biamp factory, the
responsibility for damage is always borne
by the freight company. If damage has
occurred during shipping, you must file a
claim directly with the freight company.
It’s very important to contact the freight
company as soon as possible after
receiving your shipment, as most freight
companies have a short time limit within
which they will investigate claims. Make
sure to save the carton and the packing
material, as most claims will be denied
if these materials are not retained. Your
Biamp dealer and the factory will try to
help in any way they can, but it is the
responsibility of the party receiving the
shipment to file the damage claim.
It is always a good idea to retain the carton
and packing materials, if possible, in the
event that the unit may need to be returned
to your dealer or distributor for repair in the
future.
WARNING:
I SERIES rigging
fittings are rated at Working Load
Limits (WLL) with a 10:1 safety
margin. All mounting provisions on the IV6
cabinets meet or exceed the 10:1 safety
margin to support the cabinet when used
with the specified mounting brackets,
either from Biamp or designated 3rd party
vendors.
Disregarding and/or exceeding the safe
working load limits could result in injury or
death!
RIGGING and ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT
: IV6 loudspeakers are designed and intended to be mounted to
differing indoor building surfaces using a variety of rigging hardware, means
and methods. Installation of loudspeakers should only be performed by trained
and qualified personnel. It is strongly recommended that a licensed and certified
professional structural engineer approve the mounting plan. Severe injury and/or loss of
life, and property damage may occur if these products are improperly installed.

fasteners will compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure and
constitute a safety hazard. Do not suspend any loudspeakers unless all
fasteners are securely in place!
