amplifiers),
- direct sunlight.

- Never place any object filled with liquid (a glass, vase...) on your speaker kit.
- Unplug the power cable if you do not plan on using your speaker kit for an extended period of time.

- Make sure that the speaker kit's power plug connected to an electrical outlet remains easily
accessible.
- Disconnect the speaker kit before cleaning. Use a damp cloth and avoid using aerosol cleaners.
