CONTENTS

Please read the following notes carefully. They will help you to install your loudspeakers
correctly and safely.

Switch off the amplifier and all sources before making connections to your sound system.
When you switch on the system or change sources, set the volume control to minimum and

turn up the level gradually.

The position of your Volume Control is NOT a reliable guide as to the maximum capabilities of
your system. Playing the system with extreme settings of volume and tone controls may
damage the amplifier and loudspeakers.

Do not connect loudspeaker terminals to the mains supply.

Ensure that your loudspeakers are correctly wired and are in phase.

Do not subject your loudspeakers to excessive cold, heat or sunlight.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.

The product must not be exposed to dripping and splashing and no object filled with liquids –
such as a vase of flowers – should be placed on the product.

No naked flame sources – such as candles – must be placed on the product.

Do not place heavy objects on top of loudspeaker cabinets. If you play them with the grilles
removed be careful to protect the drive units from children and pets.

Do not use makeshift stands. Always fit a manufacturer’ approved stand using the instructions
and the fixings provided. Your dealer will advise you.

Do not attempt to dismantle the loudspeaker. There are no user serviceable parts inside and
you will invalidate the warranty.

Looking after your loudspeakers

Always take care when lifting heavy objects.
Lift the speakers out by their sides.

If possible, keep the packaging in case you
need to move or return your speakers.

Carefully remove each loudspeaker from its packing
carton. Do NOT lift speakers via the polythene bag.
Be especially careful when removing large floor­standing speakers.
The carton top says, “Open other end”. So you,

– Open the bottom
– Remove polystyrene
– Open bag containing speaker
– Tape the carton flaps back
– Turn over carton with loudspeaker still inside
– Lift carton off, leaving loudspeaker standing on the
floor. You may now remove the polythene bag.

Your speakers are heavy. Take care when
removing them from their packaging.
