POWER-CORD PROTECTION – The AC power cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on. No object should bring weight to bear on
the AC power cords.

LIGHTNING – For added protection for the subwoofer
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the subwoofer
due to lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING – Do not overload wall outlets, exten­sion cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this
can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY – Never use probes of
any kind to reach into the subwoofer as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the subwoofer.

SERVICING – Do not attempt to service the subwoofer
yourself as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE – Unplug the sub­woofer from the wall outlet or other power source and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:

a) When the power-cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the subwoofer.

c) If the subwoofer has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the subwoofer does not operate normally by fol-

lowing the operating instructions; or exhibits a dis­tinct change in performance.

e) If the subwoofer has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS – When replacement parts
are required, be sure the service technician uses
replacement parts specified by Cambridge
SoundWorks or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Substandard substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or
repairs to the subwoofer, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the subwoofer
is in proper operating condition.

READ INSTRUCTIONS – All safety and operating
instructions should be read before the subwoofer is
operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS – The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS – All warnings on the subwoofer
and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS – All operating and use
instructions should be followed.

CLEANING – Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet
or other power source before cleaning. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

ATTACHMENTS – Do not use any adapters or attach­ments not recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks
as they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE – Do not use the subwoofer
near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near
a swimming pool or other similar areas.

ACCESSORIES – Do not place the subwoofer on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The sub­woofer may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult and serious damage to the product.

VENTILATION – Slots, openings and metal fins in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable
operation of the subwoofer and to prevent it from over­heating. These areas must not be blocked or covered
such as by placing the product on a bed, sofa, very
deep pile rug, or other similar surface. The subwoofer
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or rack.

HEAT – The subwoofer should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
and other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

POWER SOURCES – The subwoofer should be oper­ated only from the type of power source indicated on
the label. If you are not sure of the type of power sup­ply to your home, consult your dealer or local power
company.

POLARIZATION – The subwoofer is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
