Please observe the following instructions to insure safe and proper system operation.

Prior to Installation
Please unpack the system carefully! This unit is heavy. Use caution when lifting or moving to avoid
injury. Remove all staples used to seal the carton as they can scratch the cabinet. Please save the
carton and all packaging materials for future use. Packing this unit in any other carton may result in
severe damage when shipping. Please take a moment to record the serial number and date/location
of purchase in the space provided on the warranty card for future reference or register on-line at

Caution!
This subwoofer has electronics built into the cabinet. Do not place the cabinet next to sources
of heat such as furnace registers, radiators, etc. Do not place the unit near sources of excessive
moisture, such as evaporative coolers, humidifiers, etc. The power cord should be routed in
such a way that it will not be walked on, pinched, or compressed in any way that could result
in damaging the insulation or wire.
Regardless of where you install your Velodyne subwoofer, it must remain in an upright position (woofer
facing forward). Using, shipping, or otherwise storing the subwoofer in any other position for an
extended period of time may result in damage to the unit not covered by warranty.
Certain types of televisions are particularly sensitive to stray magnetic fields. If your television produces
distorted colors after installing your subwoofer, simply increase the distance between your television
and the subwoofer, until normal color and operation is returned.
Important Note: Turn your subwoofer off before moving it!
