SAFETY WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

For best results, and to avoid personal injury or damage to your valuable equipment,

carefully read and follow these safety warnings.

 Do not expose this speaker to moisture of any kind. Do not place items containing

liquids, such as vases or drinking glasses, on or near this speaker. If moisture does

get in or on the device, immediately unplug it from the power outlet and allow it to

fully dry before reapplying power.

 If operating this speaker in a humid environment, ensure that no condensation

occurs. Condensation could cause damage to the speaker cone and could cause a

short in the subwoofer's amplifier, which in turn could cause fire or severe electric

shock.

 To avoid damage or discoloration of the speaker cabinet, do not place or install this

speaker where they will be exposed to direct sunlight.

 Do not place or install this speaker near a heat source, such as a fireplace, stove, or

space heater.

 Ensure that there is at least 8" (20cm) of free space in the back of the subwoofer to

allow for heat dissipation from the amplifier.

 Do not pick up or carry the subwoofer by the ports on the front. Do not stick any

objects inside the ports.

 When picking up the subwoofer take care not to touch the speaker cone on the

front of the unit.

 Power off and unplug all Audio/Video components when making wired

connections. Only apply power after all connections have been made.

 Double-check all connections prior to applying power to ensure that speaker

polarity is properly made and that there are no stray wire strands, which could short

the connections, either on the back of the speakers or the AV receiver/amplifier.

 This device uses a grounded power cord and requires a ground connection for safe

operation. Ensure that the power source has a proper ground connection. Do not

modify the plug or use a "cheater" plug to bypass the ground connection. If the

3

power cord will not fit in your AC outlet, please contact an electrician to have the

obsolete plug replaced.

 Do not allow the power cord to be walked on or pinched. Do not run the power

cord under a rug, as doing so could cause a fire.

 Ensure that your AC power outlet provides voltage within the range specified on

the rear panel of the subwoofer.

 When removing cords or cables, do not pull on the cable. Always grasp the

connector/plug head when removing cords or cables.

 If the fuse needs replacing, replace it with the same type, as specified in the

SPECIFICATIONS

and in the

INPUT POWER

sections.

 This unit ships set for nominal 110~120 VAC operation. If changing the input voltage

level, you must also change the fuse to the type specified in the

and in the

INPUT POWER

sections for the voltage level being used.

SPECIFICATIONS

 Always remove power and unplug the subwoofer before attempting to replace the

fuse.

 Do not bypass the purpose of the fuse by shorting the contacts or by any other

means.

 Install the subwoofer in a place where the power plug can be readily accessible so

that you can quickly unplug the unit in the event that a safety incident occurs.

 Do not use full volume until after the speaker has been fully broken-in.
 If you hear distortion reduce the volume until the distortion is no longer audible.

Distortion can sound like a buzzing, scratching, or hammering sound. Distortion can

damage or destroy delicate speaker coils.

 To avoid annoying feedback, ensure that any turntable is isolated from the

vibrations produced by the speakers and subwoofer.

 Extreme bass frequencies and volume can distort the image on a nearby television.

If this occurs, move the subwoofer further away from the TV.

 Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, or other chemicals to clean the speaker cabinet.

Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials or cleaners. Use only a soft, dry

4

cloth. For best results, use a microfiber cleaning cloth. For particularly stubborn

deposits, moisten the cloth with warm water.

 Do not use excessive volume when listening to this speaker. If you experience pain,

discomfort, or dizziness, reduce volume immediately. Prolonged exposure to

excessive volume can cause permanent hearing damage.

 Do not disassemble or attempt to service this subwoofer.
