IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and operat-
ing instructions should be read before the
Fo urPointSurround FPS2000 Digital ampli-
fied subwoofer/satellite system is operated.
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and
operating instructions should be retained
for future reference.
HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the
subwoofer and in the operating instruc-
tions should be adhered to.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating
and use instructions should be followed.
CLEANING - Unplug the subwoofer from the
wall outlet or other power source before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments
not recommended by Cambridge
SoundWorks as they may cause hazards.
WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the
subwoofer near water—for example, near
a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a
swimming pool; and the like.
ACCESSORIES - Do not place the
Fo urPointSurround FPS2000 Digital system
on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table. The subwoofer or satellites 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 Cambridge
Sound-Works, or sold with the product.
Any mounting of the satellites or sub-
woofer should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by Cambridge
SoundWorks.
VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the
cabinet are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the subwoofer
and to prevent it from overheating, and
these openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the product on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The
subwoofer should not be placed in a built-
in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or
Cambridge SoundWorks' instructions
have been adhered to.
HEAT - The subwoofer should be situated
away from heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, and other
products (including amplifiers) that pro-
duce heat.
POWER SOURCES - The subwoofer should
be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your prod-
uct dealer or local power company. For
products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the oper-
ating instructions.
POLARIZATION - The subwoofer may be
equipped with a polarized alternating-cur-
rent line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into
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 polarized plug.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-sup-
ply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them,
paying particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the subwoofer.
LIGHTNING - For added protection for the
system
Fo urPointSurround FPS2000 Digital
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This
will prevent damage to the subwoofer due
to lightning and power-line surges.
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall out-
lets, extension cords, or integral conve-
nience receptacles as this can result in a
risk of fire or electric shock.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push
objects of any kind into the subwoofer
through openings as they may touch dan-
gerous voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the sub-
woofer.
SERVICING - Do not attempt to service the
subwoofer yourself as opening or remov-
ing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servic-
ing to qualified service personnel.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug
the subwoofer from the wall outlet or other
power source and refer servicing to quali-
fied service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects
have fallen into the subwoofer.
c) If the subwoofer has been exposed to
rain or water.
d) If the subwoofer does not operate
normally by following the operating in-
structions; or exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
e) If the product has been dropped or
damaged in any way.
REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replace-
ment parts are required, be sure the ser-
vice technician has used replacement
parts specified by Cambridge SoundWorks
or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any
service or repairs to the Fo urPointSurround
system, ask the service
FPS2000 Digital
technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the Four Point Surround
