Safety Instructions
1.
General
information
• Please read and
follow
these safety instructions.
•
Keep them safe
for
future reference.
• Observe
all
warnings on
the
speaker and in
the
manual. Please
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. They are
explicitly
provided for
levelling the speaker. For
levelling on
an
uneven floor,
unscrew the spikes
or
anti-slip
feet
by
2-3
turns
of
thread. The speaker
should always
be
in perfect
vertical alignment:
the
stability
of
the
speaker 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
of
these speakers
do
not
place
them
in
locations
that
are:
• In
direct
sunlight
•
Very humid
•
Prone
to
vibrations
• Exceptionally
hot
or
cold
•
Near CRT
Televisions
(the speakers are
not
magnetically shielded
and may cause
color
issues with a
CRT
based TV)
• Close
to
magnetic cards (Since the speakers are
not
magnetically shielded placing
magnetic cards such as
credit
cards
or
commuter cards may cause
them
to fail).
WARNING! Please
ensure
the
product
is
perfectly
stable
to
avoid
injury
from
tip-over.
Please note, that
stability can
be
increased
by
using spikes on carpeted surfaces. However,
the
mounting
of
spikes must
be
carried
out
carefully
due
to
their very sharp ends which may cause injuries.
The 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
(including amplifiers)
that
produce
heat
, or in areas
wh
ere there is a risk
of
explosion.

cupboard.
• Do
not
put burning
candles
on
or

ansformers because electromagnetic s
tr
ay
fields
can cause hum
noise on woofers.
• In combination with certain materials
I
lacquers
I
material

or
spike washers
may cause
colored
imprints on
the
surfaces.
