This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.

Ventilation:

The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilaton. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air.

Check the floor:

Always check the floor for stability before you set up the speaker cabinet. Vibrating floors (e.g. elements/components on the stage) do not provide reliable support for speaker stacks. So, always place your speakers on a stable and level surface.

Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up properly:

Set up your speaker cabinet at a distance to dance floors or other audience areas, so as to avoid a speaker stack being knocked over.

1)Read these instructions.

6)Clean only with dry cloth.

7)Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8)Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9)Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
