Care of Your Subwoofer

Your Velodyne subwoofer does not require any regular maintenance. Normal dusting or cleaning of the surface for appearance purposes is all that is required. We suggest you avoid any harsh detergents or chemicals when cleaning the cabinet. Abrasives, detergents, or cleaning solutions may damage the finish on the cabinet. We recommend using only a damp cloth to clean the cabinet.

During normal conditions, your new subwoofer may be left on continuously without any problems. Using the Auto on/off function, the unit will automatically turn on the unit when a signal is present at the inputs and turn off after several minutes when there is no longer any signal at the inputs.

Protection Circuitry

Your new subwoofer is equipped with circuitry to provide maximum performance with greatest reliability.

The unit is protected against:

1)Overheating the amplifier.

2)Excessive drop in power line voltage.

If either of the above should happen, you should reduce the volume setting or shut the unit off until normal operating conditions return. You may also want to plug the unit into a different wall outlet, as dropping power line voltage will be most noticeable under strenuous conditions and may result in the unit shutting down intermittently.
