General Information

1. General Information: Please read and follow all safety instructions and keep them for future reference. Check the speakers for damage before use. Ensure they are in perfect working condition.
2. Use only as directed: Connect speakers according to the manual. Utilize spikes or anti-slip feet for leveling. Ensure perfect vertical alignment for stability.
3. Location: Install speakers on a level surface. Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, vibrations, extreme temperatures, proximity to CRT televisions (due to lack of magnetic shielding), and magnetic cards.
4. WARNING: Ensure stability to prevent tip-over injuries. Use spikes on carpets or Velcro/adhesive tape on slippery floors. Do not block ventilation openings. Avoid placing near heat sources, in closed racks/cupboards, or near burning candles. Keep away from transformers to prevent hum noise. Note that anti-slip feet or spike washers may cause colored imprints on certain surfaces.
