10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, wall sockets, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

13. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power­supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

14. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.

15. To completely disconnect this equipment from the mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the wall socket.

16. The mains plug on the power supply cord shall remain readily accessible.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Check that the voltage rating displayed on the rear panel is correct for your area before connecting. If it is incorrect, please refer to your local dealer or authorised
service agent, as no user adjustment is provided.

WARNING!

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

• Be advised that different operating voltages require the use of different types of line cord and attachment plugs.

• Check the voltage in your area and use the correct type. See table below:

VOLTAGE LINE PLUG ACCORDING TO STANDARD

110-125V UL817 and CSA C22.2 no 42.
220-230V CEE 7 page VII, SR section 107-2-D1/IEC 83 page C4.
240V BS 1363 of 1984. Specification for 13A fused plugs and switched and un-switched socket outlets.

SERVICE

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Qualified personnel must perform all service. Servicing is required when: -

• The unit has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

• The unit has been exposed to rain or moisture, or liquid has been spilled into the unit.

• Objects have fallen into the unit.

• The unit does not work properly.

• The unit has been dropped.

EUROPEAN MODELS

A mains cable is supplied with an IEC moulded socket at one end and a moulded mains plug at the other end. Where the moulded plug is fitted with a mains fuse,
always replace with the same 5A rated fuse. If the fitted plug is unsuitable for your type of outlet sockets, it should be cut off and disposed of safely, in case it is
inserted into a live socket elsewhere. The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:

GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE

AS THE COLOURS OF THE WIRES IN THE MAINS CABLE MAY NOT CORRESPOND WITH THE COLOURED MARKINGS IDENTIFYING THE TERMINALS IN YOUR
PLUG, PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

The wire which is coloured GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked either by the letter E, the earth safety symbol, or
coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter N or coloured BLACK.

The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter L or coloured RED.

Ensure that the terminals are tightened securely, and no loose strands of wire are present. Ensure cord grip is clamped over outer sheath of cable, rather than over
the wires.

FUSE PROTECTION

An additional mains fuse is provided in the IEC power inlet on the back of the loudspeaker, which can only be removed with the power cord unplugged. This must be
replaced by a fuse of the same type and ratings (see Specifications or refer to rear panel).

INSTALLATION

Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do not limit free ventilation and movement of air around the back panel. Do not install this equipment in a
cupboard with a closed door. Allow for a distance of 150mm (6 inches) of free air space around all sides, top, bottom and the back panel of this product. The
