IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Caution:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not
remove the back panel and do not expose the
apparatus to rain or moisture. No user-
serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel.
Explanation of Graphical Symbols:
The lightning flash within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that
may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute an electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert you to the presence of
important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
WARNINGS:
1 Read Instructions – All the safety and
operating instructions should be read before
the appliance is operated.
2 Retain Instructions – The safety and
operating instructions should be retained for
future reference.
3 Heed Warnings – All warnings on the
appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
4 Follow Instructions – All operating and
use instructions should be followed.
5 Installation – Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
6
Power Sources – This product should be
operated only from the type of power source
indicated by the marking situated on the rear
panel. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your
product dealer or local power company.
7
Grounding or Polarisation – The
appliance is not required to be grounded.
Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall
outlet or extension cord receptacle to prevent
blade or pin exposure. Some versions of the
product are equipped with a power cord
fitted with a polarised alternating line plug (a
plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fit onto the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarised plug. When using
an extension power-supply cord or a power-
supply cord other than that supplied with the
appliance, it should be fitted with the
appropriate moulded-on plugs and carry
safety approval appropriate to the country of
use.
8
Power Cord Protection – Power-supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed on or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
9 Overloading – Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords or integral
convenience receptacles, as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
10 Ventilation – The amplifier panel at the
rear of the product forms part of the cooling
mechanism and must not be obscured by
placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Do not cover the
amplifier panel with any items such as
tablecloths, newspapers, etc. Ensure the heat
sink fins are aligned vertically to ensure
proper cooling. There should be a clear gap
of at least 50mm (2-in) between the back of
the product and any wall or partition. If the
product is placed in a built-in installation,
such as a rack, bookcase or cabinet, proper
provision for air to circulate must be
provided, either by a) 12mm (
1
/
2
-in) clear
gap round the top, sides and bottom of the
product venting into the room or b) two ducts
of 150 sq cm (24 sq in) minimum cross
section from the room leading to slots
300mm (12-in) wide x 50mm (2-in) deep at
top and bottom of the compartment, in line
with the gap behind the product.
11 Heat – The product should be situated
away from heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat. No
naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
12 Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The
product should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
13 Water and Moisture – To reduce the risk
of fire or electric shock, do not expose the
product to rain or excessive moisture such as
in a sauna or bathroom. Do not use this
product near water – for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool and the like.
14 Object and Liquid Entry – Never push
objects of any kind into this product through
openings, as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could
result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product. Do not
place any object containing liquid on top of
the product.
15 Cleaning – Unplug the product from the
wall outlet before cleaning. The cabinet of
the subwoofer may be cleaned by dusting
with a dry cloth. If you wish to use an
aerosol cleaning spray, do not spray directly
on the cabinet; spray onto the cloth. Remove
the grille first so that the cloth does not
become stained, but be careful not to disturb
the drive unit. The grille itself may be
cleaned using a soft brush.
16 Attachments – Do not use attachments not
recommended by the product manufacturer,
as they may cause hazards.
17 Accessories – Do not place this product
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or
table. The product may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the product. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
recommended by the manufacturer or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the
product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
18 Moving the appliance – A product and
cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive
force and uneven surfaces may
cause the product and cart
combination to overturn. Check
that there are no cables under
the carpet that may be damaged by the
spike feet. Do not walk the product on the
spike feet as this may cause them to become
detached from the cabinet and cause
damage. Take care not to impale yourself
with the spike feet.
19 Non-use Periods – The power cord of
the appliance should be unplugged from the
outlet during lightning storms or when the
apparatus is left unused for a long period of
time.
20 Servicing – Do not attempt to service this
product yourself, as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
to qualified service personnel.
21 Damage Requiring Service – Unplug
this product from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified personnel under the
following conditions:
a When the power-supply cord or plug has
been damaged.
b If liquid has been spilled or objects have
fallen into the appliance.
c If the product has been exposed to rain or
water.
d If the product does not operate normally
by following the operating instructions.
