condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Sound Bar to avoid causing re,
electric shock, or component damage.
• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your Sound Bar and any heat source, such
as a radiator, heater, oven, amplier etc. Do not install your Sound Bar close to smoke. Operating your
Sound Bar close to smoke or moisture may cause re or electric shock.
