When you have fi nished 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.

> Allow the system time to reset or

cool down (approximately 3–5
minutes).

> Reconnect the loudspeaker to the

mains.

Should the problem persist, contact

your Bang & Olufsen retailer.

Cleaning the loudspeaker

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

The loudspeaker front grill 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!

Switching on and off

When you switch on your Bang &
Olufsen system, the loudspeaker
switches on simul taneously, and
when you switch the system off
again the loudspeaker also switches
off.

NOTE! Prolonged listening at high
volume levels may cause hearing
damages.
