Polk Audio 5601 manual To lightning and power-line surges

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT

These products were designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation and operation precautions which you should be particularly aware of.

1.Read Instructions—All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the system is operated.

2.Retain Instructions—The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliances and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4.Follow Instructions—All operating and use instructions should

be followed.

5.Cleaning—Unplug the appliances from wall outlets before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

6.Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.Water and Moisture—Do not use these appliances near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8.Accessories—Do not place these appliances on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The audio/video products may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the products. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the appliances. Any mounting of the appliances should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

9.Ventilation—Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the appliances and to protect them from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the products on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. These products should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. These products should not be placed in

a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10.Power Sources—These products should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking labels. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11.Grounding or Polarization—These products are equipped with polarized alternating-current line plugs (plugs 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 should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. 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, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliances.

13.Lightning—For added protection for these audio/video products during a lightning storm, or when they are left un-attended and unused for long periods of time, unplug them from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the products due

to lightning and power-line surges.

14.Servicing—Do not attempt to service these products yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

15.Damage Requiring Service—Unplug these products from wall

outlets and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the products c. If the products have been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the products do not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to its normal operation.

e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

f. When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance-this indicates a need for service.

16.Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

17.Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to these products, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the products are in proper operating condition.
