Special precautions regarding the Beryllium dome tweeter

In its solid form, Beryllium is harmless. However, due to its nature, certain special precautions should be observed to avoid exposure to unnecessary risk.

•Under no circumstances should the Beryllium dome be subjected to any form of abrasive action. To ensure no accidental damage to the tweeter dome it is advised to carefully replace the magnetic protection grille.

•In the unlikely case of damage to the dome, of any form, the supplied piece of adhesive tape should be immediately used to seal the whole front surface of the tweeter. The protective cover should then be replaced and also taped securely in place. You should then inform the dealer from whom you purchased the product so that the tweeter can be removed by a professional and returned to the product distributor for replacement.

•If the dome is broken in any

way giving rise to loose particles of Beryllium, these should be carefully collected with the use of an adhesive tape and sealed in a zip-top bag to be returned with the tweeter.

Magnetic disturbance

The Electra Be line speakers generate a magnetic leakage that may interfere with other sensitive household appliances. It is strongly advised not to place the speakers closer than 50cm to your TV screen. Frame geometry as well as colours can be severely distorted by a magnetic field if the loudspeaker is placed too close to the cathode ray tube.

Generally, every sensitive element (audio tapes, video tapes, magnetic data storages, projector and CRTS overhead-projector) should not be placed too close to non-shielded loudspeakers.

User precautions

All the products in the Electra Be range are lacquered in order to offer a resistant cabinet surface and to make the upkeep easy. We recommend the use of a dry cloth to dust your pair of loudspeakers. If the loudspeaker is stained, then use a damp cloth.

Never use any solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrappers or scouring powder to clean the surface of the loudspeaker. Avoid placing the loudspeakers near a heat source.
