PRECAUTIONS WHEN

POSITIONING THE SPEAKERS

The speaker is constructed with the majority of the weight located
in its upper portion, and is thus susceptible to falling over if proper
care is not taken to insure its stability. If the speaker falls over, it
may damage the speaker or be the cause of injury (or even death)
to person and/or damage to personal property.

For safe and proper use of the speaker:

• Position the speaker in a location that is solid, level, smooth,
and low (with respect to the floor).

• Do not push or apply pressure to the side of the speaker when
moving, or lean objects against the side of the speaker.

• Do not sit on or set objects on top of the speaker.

Vibrations or jolts associated with earthquakes and other phenomena or
activities may cause the speaker to fall over. For safety reasons, using
commercially available products that increase stability of the speaker is
recommended (metal fittings or chains, etc.).

i En

Use the stands included with the speaker to increase stability:

Be sure to use the stands regardless of where the speaker is
positioned. Attaching the stands included with the speaker
reinforces the base of the speaker so as not to fall over.

Please be cautioned that even though the stands are connected, this
does not guarantee that the speaker will not fall over.
