OPERATING MANUAL AND USER GUIDE

IMPORTANT WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully and become familiar with the features and functions of these

products before operating them.

2. RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS for future reference.

3. COMPLY WITH ALL WARNINGS – All warnings and instructions for this product should be adhered to.

4. USE WITH AMPLIFIERS – In order to avoid damage to drivers and other equipment, it is advisable to

establish and follow a routine for powering up and powering down a sound system. With all system

components connected, turn on source equipment (mixers, signal processors, record and playback

units, etc.) BEFORE powering up amplifiers. Transient voltages from powering up source equipment

can damage speakers if amplifiers are already turned on. Make sure that amplifier volumes are

set to their minimum settings and power up any system amplifiers LAST. It is recommended that

all system components be allowed to stabilize for several seconds before any source signals are

introduced or level setting adjustments are made. Similarly, when shutting systems down, turn all

amplifiers off first, before powering down any other system components.

5. CABLES – Always use shielded or microphone cables for connection between amplifiers and other

electronic devices. Use only approved speaker cables with proper connectors.

6. MAINS SUPPLY AND SAFETY – The main operating voltage of Wharfedale electronics is shown on the

rear panel of the device. If it does not match the voltage in your area, contact your dealer.

7. CAUTION – Professional sound reinforcement systems are capable of generating very high sound

pressure levels and use high voltage. Use care with placement and operation to avoid exposure to

excessive volume levels, water or moisture.
