Taking care of the unit

Cleaning the unit’s exterior

•Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

•Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

•If you use a chemical-impregnated clean- ing cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

•Unplug the unit when cleaning.

Problems with condensation

Condensation may form inside the unit if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly.

Although the condensation won’t damage the unit, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

•Use in a well-ventilated room.

•Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

•Be sure to switch the wireless speaker off when not in use.

Don’t...

•Use in a place exposed to high tempera- tures or humidity, including near radia- tors and other heat-generating appliances.

•Place on a window sill or other place where the unit will be exposed to direct sunlight.

•Use in an excessively dusty or damp envi- ronment.

•Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

•Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

•Use in a kitchen or other room where the unit may be exposed to smoke or steam.

•Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

•Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit’s feet.

Moving the wireless speaker

If you need to move the wireless speaker, first press POWER on the top panel to turn the unit off. Unplug the power cord.

AC adapter and power cord caution

•Do not leave the power cord near heating equipment. The coating of the cord may melt, which could lead to fire and/or elec- trocution.

•Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adapter when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may become damaged which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

•Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adapter with wet hands. This may result in electrocution.

•Insert the prongs of the AC adapter all the way into the power outlet. If the connec- tion is incomplete, heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs of the adapter may result in electrocution.
