Important Safety Information and Warnings

1. Safety Information and Warnings
Before making any connections to your loudspeakers make sure that all
units in your sound system are switched off at the mains.
When switching on your sound system or changing input sources, set the
main volume control at a low level. Turn up the level gradually.
NEVER play your sound system at full volume. The position of the volume
control is deceptive and does not indicate the power level of the system.
Using very high volume settings may damage your hearing.
1.1. Instructions
Read and understand these instructions before you use your loudspeakers.
If damage is caused by failure to follow these instructions, the warranty will
not apply. Please keep these instructions in a safe place.
2. Unpacking your loudspeakers
Unpack the loudspeakers fully. Lift the loudspeakers from the
cartons by holding the cabinets. Do not use the protective bags
to lift them. The 5040 loudspeakers are heavy - get assistance
to lift them.
When manoeuvring loudspeakers, do not drag them across the floor as
this may cause damage - lift each loudspeaker before moving it.
Check the loudspeaker carefully. If any items are damaged or missing,
report this to your retailer as soon as possible.
Retain the packaging for future transport. If you dispose of the packaging,
please do so following all recycling regulations in your area.
