Important Safety Instruc ons
When using your Ashton Bentley equipment, the following safety precau ons should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or injury to people.
• Read and understand all instruc ons provided.
• Follow all warnings and instruc ons marked on the equipment.
• Some parts are heavy! Observe good li ing prac ces. The screen module should only be li ed and
posi oned by two persons.
• Allow plenty of space in the construc on area and remove cartons and any packaging materials
before assembly.
• The base unit features threaded rods that protrude to allow the main chassis unit to be easily
located. Take care not to stand on these during assembly.
• Ensure that “slot down” items such as the display assembly and loudspeaker bar are fully located
in their bo om posi on. Ensure all AB knobs are fully  ghtened before moving onto the next part
of the assembly.
• The system must be located in an indoor, dry loca on. Never operate the system outdoors or very
humid condi ons.
• Never expose the system components to rain or allow ingress of fl uid of any sort.
• Always hold and li the screen module by the metal edge. Do not touch the screen module glass.
• Do not lay loose cables across a fl oor - this is a trip hazard! Always use suitable cable management
or install under a raised fl oor.
• Do not clean the screen glass with solvents or any other chemicals. This will destroy the surface
and invalidate the warranty. Wipe gently with a so , lint free clean dry cloth. If that does not work
try a screen cleaning solu on on cloth, never spray directly on to the screen.
• In case of any queries, please contact your approved vendor.
• Power switch on rear of system MUST BE accessible at all  mes.
• Ensure that the system earth bonding is correctly installed. (Only valid on Connect two55 &
Boardroom two70)
• It is essen al that the system be secured to a suitable wall/par  on using the wall fi xing kit
supplied when using the slim base.
