6. SAFETY
WARNING
Only install the speaker in a location that can
structurally support the weight of the unit. Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and property damage.
Professional loudspeakers are capable of
producing extremely high sound levels and should be used with care. Hearing loss is cumulative and can result from extended exposure to levels in excess of 90dB.
Do not operate the speaker for an extended period
of time with the sound distorting.This is an indication of malfunction, which can cause heat build-up and
result in a re.
7. PHYSICAL
Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high level.
Suspending the system should only be done by qualied personnel, following safe rigging practices. Secure xings to the building structure are vital.
If there is any doubt, seek professional help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists.
• No open ame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed near the device.
Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit contains no user serviceable parts. Repairs should be performed only by factory trained service personnel.
