7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A

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

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

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

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

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply 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.

15. Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects
filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus.

16. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the
power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.

17. The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable.

18. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage " within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the product.

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

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Check that the voltage rating displayed on the rear panel is correct for your area before
connecting. If it is incorrect, DO NOT CONNECT THE MAINS LEAD TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY. Seek assistance from your dealer or a qualified electrician or instructed person.

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 subwoofer,
which can only be removed with the power cord unplugged, using a small screwdriver.
This must be replaced by a fuse of the same type and rating (see Specifications or refer
to rear panel).
