The meaning of these symbols is as explained below. Be sure to read the following descriptions carefully before reading the main text. Warning Items marked with this symbol indicate items containing instructions which, if ignored or improperly followed, might result in death or bodily injury. Caution Items marked with this symbol indicate items containing instructions which, if ignored or improperly followed, might result in bodily injury or damage to property. Examples of symbols used herein This symbol is used to mark cautions (and warnings) containing instructions which must be followed. This symbol is used to mark items containing instructions about actions which are prohibited (i.e., which must never be performed). This symbol is used to mark items containing instructions or other content requiring the user to take certain actions. Before use Be sure to follow the instructions below to protect your speakers from damage from excessive input levels. ÷ Never play signals at a level exceeding maximum input. ÷ When connecting this product or any other audio or visual equipment to an amplifier, be sure the power to the amplifier is turned off. ÷ Avoid raising the volume too high when using an graphic equalizer to greatly amplify high-frequency sounds. ÷ Never raise the volume too high when using a low-output amplifier. (Doing so would result in increased distortion in the amplifier's high-frequency range, and thus result in damage to the speakers. Note Depending on the manner of installation, there may be times when colors blur or other effects appear on screen if the speaker is placed in close proximity to any other type of plasma monitor. If this happens, place the speakers at a distance from the monitor during use. 2 Warning ÷ Never use the speakers to hold the plasma monitor when moving the plasma monitor, as doing so might cause the plasma monitor to fall and result in personal injury. When moving the plasma monitor, always be sure to hold the bottom of the main body of the plasma monitor. ÷ Make sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are properly tightened to ensure safety. Failing to do so may result in the speakers falling, thus resulting in bodily injury. Caution Installation ÷ Never place the speakers or plasma monitor on an unsteady platform or uneven surface, as doing so might result in their falling and this in turn might result in bodily injury. ÷ Never place the speakers or plasma monitor in a location subjected to direct sunlight or excessively high temperatures, as doing so might result in fires occurring. ÷ Never place the speakers or plasma monitor in a location where they would be subjected to excessive levels of dust or humidity or in a location subject to steam or smoke from oil (e.g., next to a stove or heating plate), as doing so might result in fires occurring. Instructions for use ÷ Avoid using over long periods of time when significant levels of sound distortion occur, as doing so might cause the speakers to heat up excessively and this could in turn result in fire. ÷ Never sit on or hang from the product. Particular care should be taken around children, as doing so might result in the product toppling over and this could in turn result in damage to the product or bodily injury. ÷ Never insert water into the speakers or otherwise allow them to become wet, as doing so might result in fire or exposure to electrical shock. Also never use this product outdoors, as doing so might similarly result in fire or exposure to electrical shock. ÷ Never place any heavy objects on the speaker cords or allow the speaker cords to be caught under the plasma monitor. Doing so could result in damage to the cords and this in turn might result in fire or exposure to electrical shock. ÷ Never drop or insert any metallic objects, easily flammable materials, or other foreign objects in the mouths or other openings of the speakers, as doing so might result in fire or exposure to electrical shock. Special care should also be taken when using the product in a home or other location where there are small children. ÷ Never attach the speakers to any devices other than the specified plasma monitors, as doing so might result in fire or damage to the product.
