Cambridge SoundWorks FPS2000 operating instructions Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and oper- ating instructions should be read before the FPS2000 Digital amplified subwoofer/sat- ellite system is operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the subwoofer and in the operating instruc- tions should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

CLEANING - Unplug the Power Supply Adapter from the wall outlet or other power source before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks as they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the subwoofer 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.

ACCESSORIES - Do not place the FPS2000 Digital system on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The subwoofer may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the prod- uct. Any mounting of the satellites or sub- woofer should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks.

VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the subwoofer and to prevent it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The openings should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ven- tilation is provided or Cambridge SoundWorks’ instructions have been ad- hered to.

HEAT - The subwoofer should be situated away from heat sources such as radia- tors, heat registers, stoves, and other products (including amplifiers) that pro- duce heat.

POWER SOURCES - The subwoofer should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For prod- ucts intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the oper- ating instructions.

POLARIZATION - The power supply may be equipped with a polarized alternating-cur- rent line plug (a plug 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.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power sup- ply 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, con- venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the subwoofer.

LIGHTNING - For added protection for the FPS2000 Digital system during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent dam- age to the subwoofer due to lightning and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall out- lets, extension cords, or integral conve- nience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into the subwoofer through openings as they may touch dan- gerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the speak- ers or the subwoofer.

SERVICING - Do not attempt to service any part of the FPS2000 Digital yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other haz- ards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser- vice personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug the power supply from the wall outlet or other power source and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the fol- lowing conditions:

a)When the power supply adapter or plug is damaged.

b)If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the subwoofer.

c)If the subwoofer or power supply adapter has been exposed to rain or water.

d)If the FPS2000 Digital does not operate normally by following the operating in- structions; or exhibits a distinct change in performance.

e)If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replace- ment parts are required, be sure the ser- vice technician has used replacement parts specified by Cambridge SoundWorks or have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the FPS2000 Digital system, ask the service technician to per- form safety checks to determine that the FPS2000 Digital system is in proper op- erating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The FPS2000 Digital satellites should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as rec- ommended by Cambridge SoundWorks.
