JBL EON10 - Manual (Page 5)

• Keep the exterior of the speaker enclosure clean. Make sure to unplug the unit before cleaning. Use a
damp rag with a general-purpose household detergent. For grease and marking tape residue, use a
damp cloth with isopropyl alcohol or mineral spirits and wipe dry. Do not use powerful solvents like acetone,
MEK, lacquer thinner or 1,1,1-Trichloro-ethane (house hold cleaning fluid). These solvents will damage
painted and co-polymer surfaces of your speakers.
• EON speakers are not intended for fixed installation in outdoor environments. Moisture can damage the
speaker cone and surround, cause corrosion of electrical contacts, and create an electrical shock
hazard. Protect your speakers from moisture. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct moisture. Any electrical
ly powered device can produce dangerous shock hazards when wet or exposed to moisture. Keep
speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight such as that encountered in permanent, outdoor
installation. The driver suspension will prematurely dry out and finished surfaces will be degraded by long-
term exposure to intense ultra-violet light.
Placement Precautions
For Stand Mounting your EON speakers include a 35mm receptacle cup to facilitate mounting on tripod
stands. When using stands, be sure to observe the following precautions:
• EON speakers include a thumbscrew that can be tightened to lock the speaker to the tripod stand.
Before mounting the speaker on the stand, be sure to loosen the screw so that it doesn’t prevent the
pole from fully penetrating the socket.
• Check the stand specification to be certain it is designed to support the weight of the speaker (see
specifications). Observe all safety precautions specified by the stand manufacturer.
• Always verify that the stand is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.
• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip over the cables pulling the
speaker over.
• Be sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands.
• Position the stand so that the legs do not present a trip hazard.
• Do not attempt to place more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker.
• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight
(e.g. sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability.
Floor and Table Top Application
The EON10 G2 generates considerable energy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood
or linoleum, the EON10 G2 may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken to
ensure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed. One solution is to place the
speaker on a rubber mat.
Electrical Safety
All EON products are fitted with a detachable power cord (supplied) which connects to the AC mains and
the back panel of the loudspeaker. The power cord has an IEC female connector on one end and a male
mains connector on the other end. This cord is supplied specifically to accommodate the different world-
wide safety and electrical code requirements. Depending on the electrical power standards in your area,
the power cord may have a 3-pin type plug. Do not cut off or damage the grounding plug. Like any electri-
cal appliance, your EON powered speakers should not be used in water or when wet.
