Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do
not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and
never touch the power cord when your hands
are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or
electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece
of furniture, or other object on the power cord
or pinch the cord in any other way. Never
make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cord should be routed so
that they are not likely to be stepped on. A
damaged power cord can cause a fire or give
you an electric shock. Check the power cord
once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask
your nearest Pioneer authorized service
center or your dealer for a replacement.

Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by the receiver
include the wave coming directly from the
transmitter (direct wave) and waves coming
from various directions due to reflections by
walls, furniture and building (reflected
waves). The reflected waves due to obstacles
and reflecting objects further produce a
variety of reflected waves as well as variation
in reception condition depending on
locations. If the audio cannot be received
properly due to this phenomenon, try moving
the location of the wireless speaker a little.
Also note that audio may be interrupted due
to the reflected waves when a person crosses
or approaches the space between the
transmitter and wireless speaker.

We do not assume any liability for the
damages incurred due to improper use of the
product by the user or third party, malfunction
during use, other troubles or use of the
product, unless indemnity for damages is
admitted by the law.

WSS.book Page 7 Friday, March 7, 2003 5:57 PM

Additional Information

Taking care of the unit

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe
off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very
dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in
some neutral cleanser diluted five or six
times with water and wrung out well,
then wipe again with a dry cloth.

• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
Never use thinners, benzine or
insecticide sprays or other chemicals on
or near this unit since they will corrode
the surfaces.

• If you use a chemical-impregnated
cleaning cloth, read the instructions
carefully before use. These cloths may
leave smear marks on half-mirror finish
surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry
cloth.

• Unplug the unit when cleaning.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the unit if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if
the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won’t damage the
unit, it may temporarily impair its
performance. For this reason you should
leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature
for about an hour before switching on and
using.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years
to come, so please bear in mind the following
points when choosing a suitable location for
it:

Do...

• Use in a well-ventilated room.

• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such
as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

• Be sure to switch the wireless speaker off
when not in use.

Don’t...

• Use in a place exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.

• Place on a window sill or other place
where the unit will be exposed to direct
sunlight.

• Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.

• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.

• Use near a television or monitor as you
may experience interference—especially
if the television uses an indoor antenna.

• Use in a kitchen or other room where the
unit may be exposed to smoke or steam.

• Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the unit.

• Place on an unstable surface, or one that
is not large enough to support all four of
the unit’s feet.

Moving the wireless speaker

If you need to move the wireless speaker, first
press POWER on the front panel to turn the
unit off. Unplug the power cord.

AC adapter and power cord caution

• Do not leave the power cord near heating
equipment. The coating of the cord may
melt, which could lead to fire and/or
electrocution.

• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC
adapter when removing it from the power
outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may
become damaged which could lead to
fire and/or electrocution.

• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the
AC adapter with wet hands. This may
result in electrocution.
