IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your Sound Bar is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and
misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your Sound Bar from being damaged, the
following rules should be observed for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read the
following safety instructions before operating your Sound Bar. Keep these instructions in a safe
place for future reference.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before
connecting other components to your Sound Bar.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Sound Bar. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning.
Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Sound Bar. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
• When moving your Sound Bar from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature,
condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Sound Bar to avoid causing
fire, electric shock, or component damage.
• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your Sound Bar and any heat
source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your Sound Bar close to
smoke. Operating your Sound Bar close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of your Sound Bar and to protect it from overheating, be sure these
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your Sound Bar in a bookcase or cabinet
unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your Sound Bar enclosure. Do not place
any objects on the top of your Sound Bar. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Sound Bar.
• Your Sound Bar should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label
on the AC/DC Adapters. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult
your dealer or local power company.
• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your Sound Bar. Any other voltage than
the specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock
• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified.
For more information, contact your dealer.
• Your Sound Bar AC/DC Adapters are equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug (a plug
with a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-pronged, have an electrician install
the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground your Sound Bar safely.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your Sound Bar. To totally
disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage
within your Sound Bar that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
• The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the
literature accompanying your Sound Bar.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric
shock.
• The wall socket should be located near your Sound Bar and be easily accessible
• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the
power cord during electrical storms.
• Unplug your Sound Bar during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of
time. This will protect your Sound Bar from damage due to power surges.
• Do not attempt to repair or service Sound Bar yourself. Opening or removing the front cover
may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required,
contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Keep your Sound Bar away from moisture. Do not expose your Sound Bar to rain or moisture.
If water penetrates into your Sound Bar, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.
Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use your Sound Bar if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent,
unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your Sound
Bar yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your Sound Bar is dropped and the housing
is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord
immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your Sound Bar may cause
fire or electric shock.
• Do not install your Sound Bar in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your
Sound Bar in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
• Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your Sound
Bar.
• When unplugging your Sound Bar, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power
cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your Sound
Bar will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
• Insert the remote control battery in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarity may
cause the battery to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.
• If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:
- The power cord fails or frays
- Liquid sprays or any object drops into your Sound Bar
- Sound Bar is exposed to rain or other moisture
