Do not install the Airmotiv XS Subwoofer near or above any heat sources such as radiators, heating
vents, or other apparatus' that produce heat. Leave plenty of clearance behind the subwoofer to
allow air-flow through the heat sinks and over the amplifier plate located in the rear panel of the
subwoofer. Avoid installing the unit directly above other heat-producing equipment unless sufficient
ventilation or forced-air cooling is provided.
Do not install the Airmotiv XS Subwoofer in locations without proper ventilation. The XS Subwoofer
should not be operated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block vents. The unit should
not be installed in an enclosed location such as a bookcase, cabinet, or closed equipment rack
unless sufficient forced-air ventilation is provided, and clearance should be maintained between the
rear-mounted heat sinks and objects like drapes that may reduce ventilation.
Always install your Airmotiv XS Subwoofer according to the manufacturer's instructions and only use
attachments or accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Do not install the XS Subwoofer on any stand, shelf, or other piece of furniture that is unable to
support its weight. If a cart is used to move the unit, use caution to avoid injury from tip-over.
Connect the XS Subwoofer only to power sources of the correct voltage (as shown in this manual
and on the XS Subwoofer unit). Be sure to set the Line Voltage switch to the correct voltage for your
area.
Protect power supply cables from being pinched, walked on, or otherwise damaged. Be especially
careful where the power cable enters the power outlet and the unit.
