Owner's Manual
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
12
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).
WARNlNG!
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
spi-
kes 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
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 because 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.
4. Overload
Extreme overload
of
the device due to very high volume may cause damage to individual components.
Because
of
the possible danger, you should never leave loudspeakers under extreme overload
condWonsunattended.
5. Service
DANGER! Do
not
open
the
cabinet
because
the
components
and
conductors
may carry current!
Servicing to be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Servicing
is
required when the loudspeaker has been damaged
in
any way, such
as
damage to the
power supply cord
or
the plug, or when liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen onto the
loudspeaker, the speaker
has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has
been dropped. To reduce the risk
of
electric shock,
do
not open the loudspeaker. Servicing should be
carried out by qualified service personnel only.
6. Cleaning
NOTE: Clean
only
with soft, smooth cloth or
with
dust
brush. Do
not
use scouring agents,
alcohol, benzene, furniture polish or other agents for cleaning! Modern furniture
is
often coated with
multiple varnishes and plastics which can be treated with chemical agents. Some
of
these agents
contain substances which degrade or soften the rubber feet. Therefore
we
advise that you place
an
anti-slip mat underneath the loudspeaker(s).
7. Volume
CAUTION! Continuous high
volume
may cause severe
damage
to
your
hearing. Please listen
responsibly.
8. Disposal
The packaging
is
made from recyclable materials. Dispose
of
this
in
an
environmentally friendly
manner.
At
end
of
life
do
not dispose
of
the speaker(s) with standard household waste. The speaker
must be recycled
in
accordance with local legislation. Ask your local government for further
information on recycling
as
the device contains valuable raw materials. Disable the speaker(s) before
disposal.
