Safety Instructions
1. General information
•
Please read and follow these safety instructions.
•
Keep them safe for future reference.
•
Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Please check the speaker
for damage before use. The speaker must be in perfect working condition. Damaged
parts may lead to personal injury.
2. Use only as directed
•
Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.
•
Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet. They are explicitly
provided for levelling the speaker. For levelling on an uneven floor, unscrew the
spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of thread. The speaker should always be in perfect
vertical alignment: the stability of the speaker must not be compromised by using
spikes or anti-slip feet as the speaker may tip-over.
3. Location
•
Install the speakers on a level surface only
•
When choosing the location of these speakers do not place them in locations that are:
WARNING! Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Please note,
that stability can be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However, the mounting of
spikes must be carried out carefully due to their very sharp ends which may cause injuries. The
stability on slippery floors can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive
tape. Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
•
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
•
Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
•
Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.
•
Do not install the speaker near transformers because electromagnetic stray fields can
cause hum noise on woofers.
•
In combination with certain materials / lacquers / material surfaces, anti-slip feet or
spike washers may cause colored imprints on the surfaces.
4. Overload
Extreme overload of the device due to very high volume may cause damage to
individual components. Because of the possible danger, you should never leave
•
In direct sunlight
•
Very humid
•
Prone to vibrations
•
Exceptionally hot or cold
•
Near CRT Televisions (the speakers are not magnetically shielded and
may cause color issues with a CRT based TV)
•
Close to magnetic cards (Since the speakers are not magnetically
shielded placing magnetic cards such as credit cards or commuter cards
may cause them to fail).
