1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do NOT defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fi t into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
6. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
7. Refer all servicing to qualifi ed service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged
in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
8. Only use attachments/accessories specifi ed by the manufacturer.
9. In case of emergency such as fi re or electric shock caused by the product, immediately contact 911 or proper
emergency police/fi re service agencies in your country.

11. Use properly rated power voltage. Use of non-rated voltage may cause fi re, electric shock and severe damages
to the product.
12. Do NOT open the cabinet under any circumstances. High voltage inside of this product may cause electric
shock.
13. Do NOT, under any circumstances, modify or disassemble this product as it may cause fi re, electric shock, or
severe damages to the product. Also any unauthorized modifi cations made to the product automatically void
product warranty.
14. Never touch antenna lines, wires, if applicable, power cables or power plugs in such circumstances as lightning
and thunder as it may cause electric shock.
15. Any severe physical impact on the product may cause certain components to fall out of place within and break,
which may cause fi re or electric shock. In such event, do not operate the product. Contact the manufacturer for
support.
16. Periodically clean dust off the power plug, to keep it clean and dry, ensuring proper and safe operation of the
product.
17. Do NOT destroy, process, or place the product close to any heating device; do NOT bend or twist power cords,
power plugs, cables, or wires with excessive force; do NOT place any heavy object on the product as all of the
above may cause damages to the product and result in fi re or electric shock.

2017-07-25 #:180-9109-2 (2017-08-28)
18. Do NOT touch power plugs with wet hands.
19. Always make sure to plug in the power plug fi rmly and completely. Incompletely placed power plugs may cause
fi re or electric shock due to built up heat emission.
20. Do NOT use any non-rated power sockets or power strips with many other devices jointly plugged in. The wire
of non-designated capacity may cause fi re due to built up heat emission. Try to use a single, directly dedicated
and rated GFI power socket for the product for safe operation.
21. In case of product malfunction or unusual events such as electrical burning smell, smoke, or loss of content
signals on soundbar due to internal overheating, immediately turn off and unplug the power and contact the
manufacturer.
22. Do NOT install the product at such unstable locations as moving objects, constantly vibrating props, or uneven
surfaces. Improper installation may cause products to fall off. Follow mounting instructions properly for safe
operation of the product.
23. Do NOT install the product near any poisonous gas or chemically unstable atmosphere as it may cause fi re.
24. Do NOT install the product near any strong magnetic or electrical current fi eld. It may cause fi re, electric shock,
or severe damages to the product. The product may be subject to any electromagnetic radiation, causing
failure.
25. Do NOT leave any fi re source, such as candles, close to or on the product as it may be a cause for fi re or
damages to the product.
26. Do NOT move or transport the product with any cables (power cables, content connectivity cables) plugged
in to the source devices. Damages may occur to the cables, plugs, or jointing connectors of the cables due to
forcible bending and stress, which may cause damages to the waterproof seal of the product, making it subject
to fi re, electric shock, or shorted circuit.
27. When unplugging, always grab the plugs of power cords or cables. Improper pulling of the cords or cables may
cause damages to the waterproof seal of the product, making it subject to fi re, electric shock, or shorted circuit.
28. Do NOT climb on the product.
29. Do NOT use any other power cords or connection cables than what is provided with the product or from the
manufacturer directly. Use of untested, unauthorized, or substituted power cords or connection cables may be
a cause for malfunction, fi re, electric shock, or severe damages to the product. Also such use of improper or
undesignated power cords or connection cables will void product warranty.
30. Always leave the power Off when plugging or unplugging the power cords or connection cables to avoid electric
shock or damages to the product.
31. Do NOT use any chemical such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the product’s exterior. It may cause
scratches on the surface, erasing proper indications, identifi cation labels, or instructions on the exterior, which
may be a cause for misuse and improper operation of the product.
32. Never power wash or spray water at the front grill of the soundbar. While the speaker gaskets are IP65 rated
and won't allow ingress of water to the electrical components, doing so may cause damage to the drivers and
void the warranty.

WARNING
ENG - When installing Peerless wall mounts on a concrete wall, the wall must be at least 8" thick with a minimum
compressive strength of 2000 psi. When installing Peerless wall mounts on a cinder block wall, the cinder blocks
must meet ASTM C-90 specifi cations and have a minimum nominal width of 8". Do not drill into mortar joints!
Be sure to mount in a solid part of the block, generally 1" (25 mm) minimum from the side of the block. It is
suggested that a standard electric drill on slow setting is used to drill the hole instead of a hammer drill to avoid
breaking out the back of the hole when entering a void or cavity. Never attach concrete expansion anchors to
concrete or cinder block covered with plaster, drywall or other fi nishing material.
