LQ™ 10P User Manual

Finally, be aware that even though the LQ 10P is an extremely powerful and high output unit, it has limits and may need additional powered units or a subwoofer to provide enough sound output or coverage. In this case, try turning the mixer levels down a little to see if the sound clears up.

If after checking all the things listed to check and anything else you can think of to check safely, and the system still exhibits problems, carefully note all conditions and check with your Crest dealer for advice.

CARE and MAINTENANCE

Your LQ 10P is a sturdy and durable product and will provide years of reliable use if properly cared for. Use common sense and read the safety warnings to avoid hazardous operating conditions.

Sunlight/Heat

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off. Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shut-down.

Do not store in extremely hot or cold conditions, or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit to come to room temperature before use.

Cleaning

Never clean the LQ 10P while plugged in or turned on! When the unit has been fully disconnected from AC power sources, a dry cloth can remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the LQ 10P, as they could damage the cabinet. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the LQ 10P!

Touch up

If the LQ 10P cabinet becomes scratched or abraded, it can be touched up using a black permanent marker. First, if the area to be touched up is larger than a short scratch, rub it lightly with an unsoaped plastic scrub pad.Wipe the scratched or abraded area a little at a time with the black permanent marker and wipe away the surplus with a lint-free cloth. For an overall finish enhancement and protective coating, use gloves to apply either WD-40®or Armor-All®protectant to the surface of the plastic cabinet only.The cabinet will be slippery after these treatments.To minimize this, rub vigorously with a dry, lint-free cloth.

If the grille becomes discolored or shows signs of a white coating, you can use a cleaner such as 409® or Fantastic® to remove it. Dampen a clean cloth with the cleaner and rub it across the front surface of the grille.Wipe off any excess.

Check for Secure Hardware

After the first few months of use, and periodically thereafter, check the hardware of the Crest LQ 10P for tightness, including the rear panel screws and those holding the baffle and rear cabinet together.The unit is subject to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause them to become loose in time. Be careful not to overtighten or strip out any screws that screw into the plastic.
