manual abstract
• Keep these instructions. • Heed all warnings. • Follow all instructions. • Unplug the speakers from the computer and from the electrical outlet before cleaning them with a dry cloth. • Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. • Place the speakers in a stable location so they will not fall causing damage to the speakers or bodily harm. • Do not use the speakers near water, and do not immerse them in any liquid or pour any liquid on them. • Do not block the openings in the speaker cabinets, never push objects into speaker vents or slots because of fire or electric shock hazards, and provide sufficient space around the speakers for proper ventilation. • Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. • Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. The wide blade is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. • Operate the speakers only from the low level English audio line out jack of the computer or of an audio device. • Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. • Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. • For added protection during lightning storms, unplug the speakers from the electrical outlet and turn off the computer. • Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time. • Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. • The speakers should be disconnected from the mains by placing the subwoofer Master Power switch in the off position and unplugging the power cord of the speakers from the AC mains receptacle.
