Cautions
■ The BeoLab 2 subwoofer is intended for
use with Bang & Olufsen active (Power
Link) loudspeaker systems only – it cannot
be used with other speakers.
■ Make sure that the BeoLab 2 is placed
and connected in accordance with the
instructions in this Guide.
■ Do not in any way block the free
movement of the BeoLab 2 speaker units,
and do not apply any force to them, as this
may result in permanent damage!
■ Place your BeoLab 2 on the floor on its
black rubber foot.
■ The BeoLab 2 is designed for indoor use
in dry, domestic environments only, and for
use within a temperature range of 10–40º C
(50–105º F).
■ Remember that all speakers in a setup
must be connected to a mains outlet, and
that they are designed to be connected to
the mains at all times, as this allows them
to switch on automatically.
Leave enough space for the speaker units to
move – both in front and to the sides of
BeoLab 2.
Use the top hole as a carrying ’handle’ when
you lift BeoLab 2.
Take care not to damage the speaker units,
and never lift BeoLab 2 by gripping its sides!

place BeoLab 2 upside down and use the two
adjustment screws (B).
