Before you start…
Here we have a list of things which should
be considered before setting up the
BeoLab 1:
• Make sure that the BeoLab 1 is set up
(placed and connected) in accordance with the
instructions in this Guide.
• Always place your BeoLab 1 on a firm and
stable surface.
• The BeoLab 1 is designed for indoor use in
dry, domestic environments only, and for use
within a temperature range of 10–40° C (50–
105° F).
• Remember that all speakers in a setup need a
connection to a mains outlet, and that they, in
order to switch on automatically, are designed
to be connected to the mains at all times.
• Do not turn the power on for any units in
your system, until after you have all the cables
plugged in (pages 6–7).
• On the top of the BeoLab 1 is a small recess.
This is for ventilation of the powerful BeoLab 1
amplifiers. Do not cover up this recess (and do
not use it as ‘a carrying handle’ when moving
your BeoLab 1 loudspeaker).
• Do not attempt to open your BeoLab 1.
Leave such operations to qualified service
personnel.

The use and purpose of the sockets and
switches is described on pages 7–9.
