the mains;
– Make all the connections as described in
Cable connections (pp. 8–10);
– Connect the loudspeakers to the mains;
–
If necessary, program the loudspeakers to
youraudio or video system, as described in
Adapt BeoLab 5 to your system (p. 11);
– Let the loudspeakers perform the Adaptive
Bass Control calibration, as described in
AdaptBeoLab 5 to your room (pp. 12–13)
;
– If you wish to activate the PIN code system,
you may now do so. This is explained in
Usethe PIN code system (pp. 14–16);

Cautions
– Do not attempt to open the loudspeaker. Leave
such operations to qualied service personnel
!
– Make sure that the loudspeaker is placed and
connected in accordance with the instructions in
this Guide.
– Place the loudspeaker on the oor.
– Do not place any items on top of the
loudspeaker.
– Do not touch the two speaker domes! See
Cleaning BeoLab 5 (p. 4) for further information.
– The loudspeaker is designed for indoor use in dry,
domestic environments only, and for use within
a temperature range of 10–40º C (50–105º F).
Handling BeoLab 5: Due to its heavy weight, any
moving or lifting should always be done by two
persons. ‘Safe areas’ to hold when moving/lifting
the loudspeaker are indicated in the illustration.
Do not move the loudspeaker without lifting it clear
of the oor, as damage to the oor may result!
Before you start ...
– If you connect the loudspeaker to a non-Bang&
Olufsen system, you will need a Beo4 remote
control (optional accessory), in order to be able
to operate the loudspeaker, e.g. switching on
and off, turning the volume level up or down,
etc.
– Volume levels are adjusted in the built-in
loudspeaker ampliers, not in your audio or video
system, and we recommend that you keep any
tone control settings neutral.
– Remember that all loudspeakers in a setup must
be connected to the mains.
Warning
– Prolonged listening at a high volume level may
cause hearing damages!
