When you have finished setting
up the loudspeaker as
described on the following
pages, connect the entire

system to the mains.

Loudspeaker protection

The loudspeaker is equipped with a

thermal protection system which
prevents damage from overheating.
If an error occurs – or the speaker
units become overheated – the
system automatically switches the
loudspeaker to standby.

To restore the sound :

> Disconnect the loudspeaker from

the mains supply.

> Allow the system time to reset or

cool down (approximately 3–5
minutes).

> Reconnect the loudspeaker to

the mains supply.

Should the problem persist,
contact your Bang & Olufsen
retailer.

To clean the loudspeaker

Clean dusty surfaces using a dry,
soft cloth. If necessary, remove
grease stains or persistent dirt with
a lint-free, firmly wrung cloth,
dipped in a solution of water
containing only a few drops of
mild detergent, such as washing­up liquid.

Never use a vacuum cleaner to
clean the exposed speaker
membrane in the acoustic lens.
However, the loudspeaker front
cloth may be cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush
nozzle, and set to the lowest level.

Never use alcohol or other solvents
to clean any parts of the loud­speaker!

To switch on and off

When you switch on your Bang &
Olufsen system, the loudspeaker
switches on simultaneously, and
when you switch the system off
again, the loudspeaker also
switches to standby.

Caution: Do not touch the
exposed speaker membrane in the
acoustic lens!

POSITION switch

POWER LINK socket: Use this
socket to connect the loudspeaker
to one of the Power Link sockets
on the Bang & Olufsen system.

Note: Do not use a Power Link
cable of the older type, as this will
cause noise, and therefore not give
optimum sound quality! The new
type has a triangular mark on the
plug.

Cable clamp: For safety reasons,
the mains cord from the wall outlet
must be secured to the loud­speaker. To do so, tug the cord
behind the cable clamp.
