Loudspeaker protection
The loudspeaker is equipped with a
thermal protection system which
prevents overheating. If an error
occurs – or the speaker units
become overheated – the system
automatically switches the
loudspeaker to standby, and the
indicator light turns yellow.
To restore the situation:
> Disconnect the loudspeaker from
the mains.
> Allow the system time to reset
(approximately 3–5 minutes).
> Reconnect the loudspeaker to
the mains again.
Should the problem persist, contact
your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
