SAFETY AND OPERATING

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTES

Before connecting and using this product, please read this instruction manual
carefully and keep it on hand for future reference. This manual is to be considered
an integral part of this product and must accompany it when it changes
ownership as a reference for correct installation and use as well as for the safety
precautions.
RCF S.p.A. will not assume any responsibility for the incorrect installation and /
or use of this product.

SAFETY AND OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

1. All the precautions, in particular the safety ones, must be read with special

attention, as they provide important information.

2. Speaker lines (amplier outputs) can have a sufciently high voltage (i.e. 100­70 V) to involve a risk of electrocution: never install or connect speakers when
the line is alive.

3. Make sure all connections have been made correctly and the speaker input
voltage is suitable for the amplier output.

4. Protect speaker lines from damage. Make sure they are positioned in a way
that they cannot be stepped on or crushed by objects.

5. Make sure that no objects or liquids can get into this product, as this may
cause a short circuit.

6. Never attempt to carry out any operations, modications or repairs that are
not expressly described in this manual.
Contact your authorized service centre or qualied personnel should any of the
following occur:

- The speaker does not function (or works in an anomalous way).

- Its cable has been damaged.

- Objects or liquids have got into the unit.

- The speaker has been damaged due to heavy impacts or re.

IMPORTANT NOTES

7. Should the speaker emit any strange odours or smoke, remove it from the line

after having immediately switched the amplier off.

8. Do not connect this product to any equipment or accessories not foreseen.
Do not try to hang this speaker by using elements that are unsuitable or not
specic for this purpose.
Check the suitability of the components used for attachment (i.e. wall plugs,
screws, brackets not supplied by RCF, etc.), which must guarantee the security of
the system / installation over time, also considering, for example, the mechanical
vibrations normally generated by transducers.

9. RCF S.P.A. strongly recommends this product is only installed by professional
qualied installers (or specialised rms) who can ensure a correct installation and
certify it according to the regulations in force.
The entire audio system must comply with the current standards and regulations
regarding electrical systems.

10. Mechanical and electrical factors need to be considered when installing a
professional audio system (in addition to those which are strictly acoustic, such
as sound pressure, angles of coverage, frequency response, etc.).

11. Hearing loss
Exposure to high sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. The acoustic
pressure level that leads to hearing loss is different from person to person and
depends on the exposure time.
To prevent potentially dangerous exposure to high levels of acoustic pressure,
anyone who is exposed to these levels should use adequate protection devices.
When a transducer capable of producing high sound levels is being used, it is
necessary to wear ear plugs or protective earphones.
See the technical specications in the instruction manual for the maximum sound
pressure of the speaker.

12. To ensure a correct sound reproduction, speaker phase is to be respected
(loudspeakers are connected respecting the amplier polarity). This is important
when speakers are installed adjacent one another, for instance, in the same room.
Make sure speaker lines are not shorted before turning the amplier on.

13. To prevent inductive effects from causing hum, noise and a bad system
working, speaker lines should not be laid together with other electric cables
(mains), microphone or line level signal cables connected to amplier inputs.

ENGLISH

14. The speaker cable shall have wires with a suitable section (twisted, if
possible, to reduce inductive effects due to surrounding electro-magnetic elds)
and a sufcient electrical insulation. Refer to local regulations, as there may be
additional requirements about cable characteristics.

15. Install this speaker far from any heat source.

16. Do not use solvents, alcohol, benzene or other volatile substances for

cleaning the external parts of this product. Use a dry cloth.
