IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your Sound Bar is designed and manufactured to operate
within defined design limits, and misuse may result in
electric shock or fire. To prevent your Sound Bar from
being damaged, the following rules should be observed
for its installation, use, and maintenance. Please read
the following safety instructions before operating your
Sound Bar. Keep these instructions in a safe place for
future reference.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage,
switch off the power before connecting other components to
your Sound Bar.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your Sound Bar.
A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning. Do not use a liquid
or a spray cleaner on your Sound Bar. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
• Always use the accessories recommended by the
manufacturer to insure compatibility.
• When moving your Sound Bar from an area of low
temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation
may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your Sound
Bar to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component
damage.
• A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between
your Sound Bar and any heat source, such as a radiator,
heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your Sound Bar
close to smoke. Operating your Sound Bar close to smoke or
moisture may cause fire or electric shock.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet
are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
your Sound Bar and to protect it from overheating, be sure
these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your
Sound Bar in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation
is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your
Sound Bar enclosure. Do not place any objects on the top of
your Sound Bar. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your Sound Bar.
• Your Sound Bar should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the label on the AC/DC Adapters. If
you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your
Sound Bar. Any other voltage than the specified voltage may
cause fire or electric shock
• The power cord must be replaced when using different
voltage than the voltage specified. For more information,
contact your dealer.
• Your Sound Bar AC/DC Adapters are equipped with a
three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with a third grounding
pin). This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This
is a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the
three-pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet,
or use an adapter to ground your Sound Bar safely.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing
into your Sound Bar. To totally disconnect power, unplug the
power cord.
• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol
within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of un-isolated,
dangerous voltage within your Sound Bar
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
• The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to
the presence of important operating and
servicing instructions in the literature
accompanying your Sound Bar.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords.
Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• The wall socket should be located near your Sound Bar and
be easily accessible
• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid
electric shock, avoid handling the power cord during
electrical storms.
• Unplug your Sound Bar during a lightning storm or when it
will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect your
Sound Bar from damage due to power surges.
• Do not attempt to repair or service Sound Bar yourself.
