Environment

1. Water and moistureDo not use the unit near water, such as near a bathtub or swimming pool. Avoid damp basements. 2. HeatSituate the unit away from heat sources, such as radiators. Do not situate where temperatures fall below 5C (41F) or rise above 35C (95F). 3. Power linesTake care when setting up an outdoor antenna that it is not near overhead power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits, and that there is no danger of the antenna falling on power lines, electric lights, or electrical circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna, take extreme care not to touch such power lines or circuits, as contact with them can be fatal.

About 7 meters in front of the signal sensor

Transmission window

Notes Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32) away from the system for proper ventilation. These speakers do not have magnetic shielding. Do not place them near televisions, personal computers or other devices easily influenced by magnetism. To avoid damage to the speakers, do not touch the speakers cones if you have taken the nets off.

Operations notes

Do not place obstacles between the remote control signal sensor and remote control unit. Do not expose the remote control signal sensor to direct sunlight or to the bright light of a fluorescent light. Take care to keep the remote control signal sensor and end of the remote control unit free from dust. If this system is installed in a rack with glass doors, the glass doors thickness or color might make it necessary to use the remote control a shorter distance from the system.

To prevent damage

Never place heavy items on top of the unit. Do not disassemble or reconstruct the unit. Do not spill water or other liquids into the unit.
