Safety Instructions - Emotiva Airmotiv 6 Owner's Manual

Safety Instructions

The following Safety Instructions will not only serve to protect your personal safety, but
will also help to ensure a long and trouble-free service life for your airmotiv powered
monitors. While you will find that most of the safety instructions involve simple
common sense, you should remember that your airmotiv powered monitors are both
loudspeakers and electronic equipment, and the safety instructions therefore include
both mechanical and electrical considerations and concerns.
• Always connect your airmotiv powered monitor to a properly grounded outlet which
supplies the correct voltage, using either the supplied power cord or an equivalent
replacement. The airmotiv powered monitor draws very little power, and you may
safely use a longer replacement cord or extension cord if desired.
(If so, always use a three-prong grounded type.)
• Always mount or place your airmotiv powered monitor in a secure location,
especially if it is to be placed above head level. If placed on a shelf, we suggest
placing rubber shelf matting or rubber feet underneath to prevent slipping. If you
use brackets, ensure that the brackets are tightly attached to both the speaker and
a solid mounting surface, and that they are rated to support at least 15 pounds
(each airmotiv weighs about 13 pounds).
• Do not store or use your airmotiv powered monitor near water or in an overly damp
location. (Remember that they are an AC-powered electrical appliance.)
• Do not expose your airmotiv powered monitor to rain, lawn sprinklers, or
excessively dusty conditions (they are not an outdoor speaker and are not
waterproof).
• Do not mount your airmotiv powered monitor near or directly over a heat
source (avoid placing them in front of heaters or heating ducts or on top of hot
equipment).
• Do not mount or place your airmotiv powered monitor where it will be exposed to
direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• Never place liquids (like cups of coffee or soda) on top of an airmotiv.
• Never spray or pour liquids directly into or onto your airmotiv powered monitor. To
clean the exterior, use a rag dampened with plain water, and apply the liquid to the
cleaning rag and not the speaker.
• Never press on the low-frequency transducer and never insert foreign objects into
the high-frequency transducer. If dust or lint find their way into the high-frequency
transducer, attempt to remove them by blowing gently into the front grill at an
angle.
• IF YOUR airmotiv POWERED MONITOR IS EXPOSED TO LIQUIDS OR RAIN,
IS DROPPED OR PHYSICALLY DAMAGED, OR OTHERWISE FAILS TO OPERATE
PROPERLY, contact Emotiva Technical Support immediately.
