General Information

1. General Information:

• Please read and follow all safety instructions. Keep them safe for future reference.
• Observe all warnings on the speaker and in the manual. Check the speaker for damage before use. The speaker must be in perfect working condition; damaged parts may lead to personal injury.

2. Use only as directed:

• Connect the speaker(s) according to the instructions in the manual.
• Many ELAC speakers are equipped with spikes and/or anti-slip feet for leveling. For uneven floors, unscrew the spikes or anti-slip feet by 2-3 turns of thread. The speaker should always be in perfect vertical alignment; stability must not be compromised by using spikes or anti-slip feet, as the speaker may tip over.

3. Location:

• Install the speakers on a level surface only.
• When choosing the location, avoid areas that are:
• In direct sunlight
• Very humid
• Prone to vibrations
• Exceptionally hot or cold
• Near CRT Televisions (speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause color issues with CRT-based TVs).
• Close to magnetic cards (speakers are not magnetically shielded and may cause magnetic cards, such as credit cards or commuter cards, to fail).

4. WARNING!

• Please ensure the product is perfectly stable to avoid injury from tip-over. Stability can be increased by using spikes on carpeted surfaces. Be careful when mounting spikes due to their sharp ends. Stability on slippery floors can be increased by using Velcro fastening tape or double-sided adhesive tape.
• Do not install the speaker near any heat sources such as radiators, heating valves, stoves, or other apparatus that produce heat, or in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not install the speaker in a closed rack or in a closed cupboard.
• Do not put burning candles on or near the speaker.
• Do not install the speaker near transformers, as electromagnetic stray fields can cause hum noise on woofers.
• In combination with certain materials/lacquers/material surfaces, anti-slip feet or spike washers may cause colored imprints on the surfaces.
