When Installing the Unit

• Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• Since the unit is designed for in-door use, do not install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of parts causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a danger of electric shock.

• Owing to the unit's size and weight, be sure that at least two persons are available to install the unit. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

• Do not use other methods than specified to mount the bracket. Extreme force is applied to the unit and the unit could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.

• Use screws that are appropriate for the ceiling's or wall's structure and composition. Failure to do so may cause the unit to fall, resulting in personal injury.

• Ensure that all screws are securely tightened. If they are not tightened or firmly secured after installation, the unit could fall down, possibly resulting in personal injury.

• Use the specified mounting bracket in combination. Doing otherwise may cause the unit or component to fall off, resulting in personal injury.

• Do not mount the unit in locations exposed to constant vibration. The mounting bracket can be damaged by excessive vibration, potentially causing the unit to fall, which could result in personal injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

CAUTION

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.

Safety Symbol and Message Conventions

Safety symbols and messages described below are used in this manual to prevent bodily injury and property damage which could result from mishandling. Before operating your product, read this manual first and understand the safety symbols and messages so you are thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards.

When Installing the Unit

• When unpacking or installing the unit, be sure to handle it with two or more persons. Falling or dropping the unit may cause personal injury.

• Avoid touching the unit's sharp metal edge to prevent injury.

• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the amplifier's power when connecting speakers.

When the Unit is in Use

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.

• Make sure that the volume control is set to minimum position before power is switched on. Loud noise produced at high volume when power is switched on can impair hearing.

• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate and result in a fire.
