1. Please read the instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place for future reference.
2. Heed all warnings.
3. Follow all instructions.
4. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
5. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
6. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the speaker.
7. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
8. Unplug this speaker during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
9. Before connecting speakers to the power source, please turn off the power switch and make sure the volume is set at minimum level.
10. Please do not place the power cable and signal cable near heat sources (such as electric heaters and radiators). Do not leave cables where they can easily be stepped on or compressed.
11. Use electric outlets that allow the power cable to be pulled out easily. When speakers are not being used for an extended period of time, please turn off the power switch and disconnect the power plug.
12. In order to avoid damage from thunder and lightning, turn off the power switch and disconnect the speaker from the power source during a rain storm.
13. Please do not drag the power cable when disconnecting from the wall socket. Hold the power cord firmly at the top to unplug from the wall socket.
14. Use the speakers only within voltage specifications. Using the speakers with voltage higher than specifications is dangerous and can cause equipment damage, fire damage, or bodily injury.
15. These speakers do not include any self-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the speaker to uninstall any parts or perform any modifications. If problems occur during use, please contact professional technicians only for repair.
16. Please refer to the troubleshooting section in the owner's manual for common operation errors and to determine possible malfunctions.
17. Please do not place speakers in places where they can be easily hit by falling objects or dropping and splashing liquid. Do not place any lit fire (such as a candle) on top of the speaker, as this may lead to a fire hazard. Do not place any liquid containers on top of the speaker, as this may fall on the speakers and cause electric shock and damage to the speaker.
18. Place speakers in a stable position so they will not easily fall off, causing damage and injury.
19. Place speakers in a well-ventilated and dry position, far from direct sunlight, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, or extremely cold conditions. For optimal performance, please leave at least 20 cm distance space around the speaker.
20. Please do not use the speaker at maximum volume for an extended period of time, as this may cause damage to your hearing.
21. Before moving the speakers, please first turn off the power switch and disconnect from the power source.
22. When the following symptoms occur, please turn off the power switch and disconnect from the power source:
    • Power cable or plug is worn or damaged.
    • Abnormal odor or smoke is detected.
    • Small objects falling inside the speaker.
    • Sudden break off while playing music.
    Consult a professional repair technician to diagnose and repair the speaker.
23. Do not use chemical solvents to clean the surface of the speaker. To avoid surface damage, use a clean and soft cloth only.
