shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the
following:

• Do not place the power cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators. Also,
do not excessively bend or otherwise damage the cord, or place heavy objects on it.

• Only use the voltage specified as correct for the unit. The required voltage is
printed on the name plate of the unit.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have
accumulated on it.

• This unit contains no user-serviceable parts. Do not open the unit or attempt to
disassemble or modify the internal components in any way. If it should appear to
be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have it inspected by
qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the unit to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or
place on it any containers (such as vases, bottles or glasses) containing liquids
which might spill into any openings. If any liquid such as water seeps into the
unit, turn off the power immediately and unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet. Then have the unit inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Never insert or remove an electric plug with wet hands.

• Do not put burning items, such as candles, on the unit. A burning item may fall

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or damage
to the unit or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Make sure to place the subwoofer unit away from walls or other objects leaving

• Do not connect the unit to an electrical outlet using a multiple-connector. Doing
so can result in lower sound quality, or possibly cause overheating in the outlet.

• When removing the electric plug from an outlet, always hold the plug itself and
not the cord. Pulling by the cord can damage it.

• Remove the electric plug from the outlet when the unit is not to be used for
extended periods of time, or during electrical storms.

• Do not place the unit in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the unit, remove all connected cables, to prevent damage to the
cables or injury to anyone who might trip over them.

• When setting up the product, make sure that the AC outlet you are using is easily
accessible. If some trouble or malfunction occurs, immediately turn off the power
switch and disconnect the plug from the outlet. Even when the power switch is
turned off, electricity is still flowing to the product at the minimum level. When
you are not using the product for a long time, make sure to unplug the power
cord from the wall AC outlet.
