IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Unplug the speakers from the computer and from the
electrical outlet before cleaning them with a dry cloth.

• Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Place the speakers in a stable location so they will not fall
causing damage to the speakers or bodily harm.

• Do not use the speakers near water, and do not immerse
them in any liquid or pour any liquid on them.

• Do not block the openings in the speaker cabinets, never
push objects into speaker vents or slots because of fire or
electric shock hazards, and provide sufficient space
around the speakers for proper ventilation.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. The wide blade is provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Operate the speakers only from the low level audio line
out jack of the computer or of an audio device.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched

CAUTION

particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

• For added protection during lightning storms, unplug the
speakers from the electrical outlet and turn off the
computer.

• Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of
time.

• Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply
cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.

• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• The speakers should be disconnected from the mains by
placing the power/standby switch in the off position and
unplugging the power cord of the speakers from the AC
mains receptacle.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

WARNING:

Setting up your Labtec
Arena™675, Model: S-0105A/B
speakers

Satellite speakers

Before attaching the cables, position two satellite speakers
on either side of your computer monitor about the same dis­tance from each other as from you. Angle them to face you.

Place the center channel speaker on your desk in front of
your monitor.

Place the other satellite speakers behind you and about the
same distance apart as the front speakers.

Subwoofer

Because bass frequencies are non-directional, the sub­woofer can be placed anywhere in relation to the satellites.
For optimum sound quality, place the subwoofer on the floor
beneath your desk being careful not to block the bass port.
Since the subwoofer has a powerful magnetic structure,
make sure it is as least 20 inches away from monitors, CPUs,
disk drives and magnetic media.

Troubleshooting

See below for solutions to common problems. If you have more questions about your Labtec speakers, visit
www.labtec.com.

Speakers produce weak or no sound.

• Is the power light on? Make sure the speakers are plugged into an electrical outlet and the power button
is on.

4

• Is there output from the soundcard? Try connecting the speakers to an alternative audio source - for
example, a CD player, cassette tape deck, or radio. If there is sound from the speakers, the problem is
probably with your soundcard. If no other sound source is available, try removing the plug from the
soundcard and turning the speaker to maximum volume. You should hear a hum or buzz when you touch
the tip of the plug. If you do, the speaker is OK, and you should check your soundcard setup.

One speaker doesn’t produce sound.

• Is the soundcard connection secure? Make sure the cable from the soundcard to the main speaker is
properly secured.

• Is the balance control centered?
