7.Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appli- ance.

8.Grounding or Polarization - The precautions that should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not defeated. The sub- woofer may be 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 a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug is still unable to fit, contact or electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.

9.Power - Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

10.Cleaning - The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.

11.Non-use Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

12.Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through the openings.

13.Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:

A.The power - supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B.Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or

C.The appliance has been exposed to rain; or

PRECAUTIONS

1.Do Not Touch The Unit With Wet Hands. Do not handle the unit or power cord when your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid enters the amplifier cabinet, take the amplifier to qualified service personal for inspec- tion.

2.Location of the Unit - Do not expose the unit to direct sun light or heating units as the amplifier internal components temperature may rise and shorten the life of the components. Avoid damp and dusty places.

3.Care – From time to time you should wipe off the front and side panels and the cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical solvents or cloths since this may damage the finish or remove the panel lettering.

4.Lightning – For added protection for the subwoofer during a lightning storm, or when left unattended and unused for a long period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the subwoofer due to a lightning strike and power-line surges.

5.Do not operate the speakers or subwoofer with the bass, treble and loud- ness controls set to full boost. This will place undue strain on the electronics and speakers and could damage them.

6.Whenever changing cables, pulling plugs, etc., always turn off all equipment including the subwoofer. This prevents transients from entering the speakers and prevents electrical energy from reaching the user. Keep all connections out of the reach of children.
