IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your MaxTower is made of a very durable polymer composite material. However, extra care should be
taken to protect the finish and speakers. These simple tips will help reduce wear and tear on your
MaxTower.
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Avoid direct contact with the speaker. Care should be taken to avoid damage to speakers.
3. Do not use or store around excessive moisture.
4. At very high volume this product may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause hearing
damage. Do not operate at uncomfortable levels for prolonged periods. If hearing loss or ringing in ears
in experienced, consult a physician.
5. The MaxTower should be positioned so that proper ventilation is maintained.
6. Keep away from heat sources such as radiators, heat vents, and other devices (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
7. The MaxTower should be connected to a power supply described in the operating instructions or as
marked. Replace fuse with correct type, size, and rating.
8. The power supply cord should: (1) be undamaged, (2) never share an outlet or extension cord with
other devices so that the outlet has exceeded the maximum rating, and (3) never be left plugged into the
outlet when not being used for a long period of time.
9. This product should be serviced by qualified service personnel if:
• The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
• One of the speakers has been damaged.
• There has been excessive exposure to rain.
• The MaxTower does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a change in performance.
• The unit has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
• Do not attempt to service the product beyond what is described in these instructions. All other repairs
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
• Clean only with damp cloth.
• Use only with the supplied Nady stand.
• Units designed with Class-I construction (like the MaxTower) must be connected to an outlet with a
grounded connection.
STATEMENT OF RoHS COMPLIANCE
The included electronic parts and components are covered by the European Union Removal of Hazardous
Substances directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). This directive seeks to eliminate the toxic substances released
during manufacturing processes to ensure that disposed of materials do not pose health risks. Considered
toxic substances are lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)
and polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDE). Lead is used together with tin in solder connections to reduce
the melting point of solder. Lead-free solder requires higher soldering temperatures which in turn places
greater thermal stress on components.
The MaxTower complies with RoHS directives and uses components that are certified RoHS compliant.
