IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

CAUTION

The supplied floor stand adapters facilitate installation with a variety of general- purpose floor stands available from many manufacturers. Since different stands will have different weight capacities and stability characteristics, it is the customer’s responsibility to check with the stand manufacturer or dealer to ascertain whether that specific stand is capable of handling the weight and proportions of these loudspeakers in a safe and stable manner. JBL, Inc., disclaims any liability for the selection of suitable floor stands and/or correct compatibility between the selected stand and the supplied stand adapter.

IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making

any connections. For speaker connections, use a high-quality speaker wire with polarity coding. The side of the wire with a ridge or other coding is usually considered positive polarity (i.e., +).

NOTE: If desired, consult your local JBL dealer about speaker wire and connection options.
