The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or

distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing "comfort level"

adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting

your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Installation guidelines

WARNING

! This loudspeaker must be installed by a qualified technician as it involves such tasks as selecting a location for installation, drilling holes in walls/ceiling and wiring.

Have the installer carefully follow the installation instructions.

! Certain technical skills are required to install the loudspeaker. Please have the product installed by a professional.

! AlphaTheta Corporation is not responsible for any loss or damage that results from improper installation, insufficient strength of installation materials, misuse,

modification or natural disasters.

WARNING

! Ensure that the floor or stage surface in question can withstand the weight of the system. Consult a qualified professional for advice if the strength of the surface is

unknown.

! Check to make sure that any mounting hardware used is enough to support the system, when using commercially available hardware. Make sure to read the

Introduction section in this manual and the instruction manual for the mounting hardware thoroughly before proceeding. Be careful not to place any devices or other

equipment on top of the system as such devices could fall, causing severe injury.

! After installation, you must confirm that the speakers are safely installed. You must also periodically check them to make sure that they are still safe.

! Make sure to use mounting hardware of sufficient strength to secure the speaker in place. The speaker could fall, causing accidents, if not properly secured.

! When this product is placed in an elevated place such as on a stage, a speaker may be moved by vibrations and fall to the floor, causing an injury or accident. Take meas-

ures to prevent a speaker from sliding off a stage, etc.

! Ensure that the floor or stage surface can withstand the weight of the system.

! Wherever possible, avoid high stacks and use ratchet straps to secure loudspeakers together. Please also remember that vibrations from subwoofer systems can shake

other loudspeakers out of place, which may present a toppling hazard. The use of ratchet straps and non-slip material is recommended to prevent this.
