SYSTEM SETUP English Español Français SYSTEM SETUP Positioning the Acoustimass® module The Acoustimass® module is designed to be the unseen part of the speaker system. For example, you can place it under your computer table or desk. • Put one rubber foot on each corner of the bottom panel of the module. • Stand the module on its feet on a flat surface. • DO NOT BLOCK the front grille of the module. • DO NOT lay the module on its side or stand it upside down. • DO NOT put any objects or equipment behind it or beside it that may block the ventilation openings at the rear of the module. Adequate ventilation is necessary to prevent the module from overheating. • Place the module at least 6 inches (15 cm) away from the computer and computer monitor to prevent the module from interfering with your computer system. • Keep the module away from heat sources such as radiators, baseboards, or quartz heaters. • Make sure the power cord can reach an AC (mains) outlet and the USB cable can reach the USB connection on your computer. CAUTION: Do not place computer monitors, floppy disks, hard drives, or other magnetic media within 6 inches (15 cm) of the Acoustimass module. The magnetic field produced by this module can erase magnetic media and interfere with the monitor. 9
