IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The exclamation point with-
in an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user of
the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying
the appliance.
1. Read Instructions – All the safety and operation
instructions should be read before the subwoofer is
operated
2. Retain Instructions – The safety and operating instruc-
tions should be kept for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings – All warnings on the subwoofer and in
these operating instructions should be followed.
4. Follow Instructions – All operating and other instruc-
tions should be followed
5. Water and Moisture – The subwoofer should not be
used near water. For example, near a bathtub, wash-
bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement or
near a swimming pool.
6. Ventilation – The subwoofer should be situated so that
its location or position does not interfere with its proper
ventilation. For example, the system should not be situ-
ated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may
block airflow past the rear heatsinks or placed in a built-
in installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air past the heatsinks.
7. Heat – The subwoofer should be situated away from
sources such as radiators, heaters, furnace outflow vents
or other devices which produce heat.
8. Power Sources – The subwoofer should be connected
to a power supply only of the type described in these
operation instructions or as marked on the component.
9. Grounding or Polarization – The subwoofer is
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is
an intentional 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 an electrician to
replace the obsolete (unpolarized) outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
10. Power Cord Protection – Power supply cords should
be routed so that they are not likely to walked upon or
pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay par-
ticular attention to cords at plugs, convenience recepta-
cles and the point where they exit the subwoofer. To
prevent electric shock, do not use the subwoofer polar-
ized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other
outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent
blade exposure.
11. Non-use Periods – The power cord of the subwoofer
should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused
for a long period of time.
12. Damage Requiring Service – The subwoofer should be
serviced only by qualified service personnel when:
A. Subwoofer power supply cord or the plug has
been damaged; or
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

D. The subwoofer does not appear to operate; or
E. The subwoofer has been dropped or damaged.
13. Servicing – The user should not attempt to service the
subwoofer beyond those means described in this operat-
ing manual. Opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltages or other hazards. All servic-
ing should be referred to an authorized Service Center.
14. Cleaning – Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet
before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
15. Attachments – Do not use attachments not recommend-
ed as they may cause hazards.
16. Accessories – Do not place the subwoofer on an unsta-
ble cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The subwoofer
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 manu-
facturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the
subwoofer should follow manufacturer's instructions
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
manufacturer. A subwoofer and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and
uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart combi-
nation to overturn.
17. Lightning – For added protection for the subwoofer
during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet.
18. Overloading – do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result ina risk of fire or electric shock.
19. Safety Check – Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this product ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the product is
in proper operating condition.
20. Replacement Parts – When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician has used manu-
facturer specified parts or parts with the same character-
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
21. Wall or Ceiling Mounting – The product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by
manufacturer.
22. Object and Liquid Entry – Never push objects of any
kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.
