Important Safety and Care Instructions

• Read this owner’s manual before assembly or operation.

• Do not allow children to move the lectern.

• Proceed slowly and carefully when moving the lectern.

• For indoor use only. Do not install or store the lectern where it will be exposed
to moisture.

• Do not block the ventilation openings.

• Avoid uneven loading of the equipment into the lectern. Uneven weight
distribution could cause the lectern to tip when the lectern is moving.

• Do not allow anyone to sit, stand, or climb on the lectern.

• Use a damp, soft-cloth, or sponge, with mild soap or detergent solution to clean
dirty surfaces. Do not use harsh solvents or abrasives.

• This lectern is intended for institutional use. It does not have any user­serviceable parts or user-maintenance requirements. If servicing is necessary,
please contact Spectrum Industries for assistance.

Warning - Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not speci cally

designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or
serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child.

Warning - Death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio
and/or video equipment furniture. A remote control or toys placed on the
furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result the
furnishing may tip over on to the child.

Electrical Safety:

• Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord.

• Inspect power cords for damage before each use. Do not use power cords
that are damaged.

• Unplug power cord from electrical outlet by gripping the cord. Do not unplug
the power cord by pulling only on the cord.

• Do not step on, drive over, drag, or place objects on the power cord.

• For added safety, plug the lectern into a grounded outlet controlled by a GFI

(Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit breaker.

• Electrical devices are not toys. Children are often unaware of the hazards
associated with electrical devices. This lectern must always be used by
adults or with adult supervision.

4mm hex wrench and lift out the panel. Figure 1.

2. To make cutouts in the insert panel [optional]:

all devices t within the maximum cutout space available in the overbridge panel.

See Figure 2-3.

2. Locate and mark the exact cutout area(s) on the panel. Note: Using masking

tape on cut lines will minimize laminate chipping while cutting.
