GENERAL INFORMATION

1. General information

• Please read and follow these safety instructions.

• Keep them safe for future reference.

• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker for damage before use.
The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged parts may lead to personal injury.

2. Use only as directed

• Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.

• Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly provided for
leveling the speaker. For leveling on an uneven floor, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of
thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment: the stability of the speaker must not be
compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.

3. Location

• Install the speakers on a level surface only.

• When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:

• In direct sunlight

• Very humid

• Prone to vibrations

• Exceptionally hot or cold

• Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues with
a CRT based TV).sa

• Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically shielded placing magnetic cards
such as credit cards or commuter cards may cause them to fail).

4. WARNING!
Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note, that stability can be
increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of spikes must be carried out carefully
due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The stability on slippery floors can be increased by using
Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape. Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as
radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat, or in areas where
there is a risk of explosion.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.

• Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.

• Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise on
woofers.

• In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may
cause colored imprints on the surfaces.
