for cleaning. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner on your Sound bar. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
