Genelec HTS6 - Manual (Page 5)

Automatic protection circuits
The HTS6 is equipped with protection circuits
against speaker driver thermal overload and
amplifier overheating. The protection system
resets automatically so the user only has to
turn the input level down to ensure that it
does not reactivate.
Safety considerations
The HTS6 subwoofer has been designed in
accordance with international safety stand-
ards. However, to ensure safe operation and
maintain the unit in safe operating condition,
the following warnings and cautions must be
observed:
•
Do not expose the subwoofer to water
or moisture. Do not place any objects
filled with liquid, such as vases on
the subwoofer or near it.
•
Servicing and adjustment must only
be performed by qualified
service personnel.
•
Opening the connector panel is
strictly prohibited except by
qualified service personnel.
