Daily use
When you have finished setting
up the loudspeaker as described
on the following pages, connect
the entire system to the mains.
Loudspeaker protection
The loudspeaker is equipped with a
thermal protection system which
prevents damage from overheating.
If an error occurs – or the speaker
units become overheated – the
system automatically switches the
loudspeaker to standby.
To restore the sound:
> Disconnect the loudspeaker from
the mains.
> Allow the system time to reset or
cool down (approximately 3–5
minutes).
> Reconnect the loudspeaker to the
mains.
Should the problem persist, contact
your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
Cleaning the loudspeaker
Clean dusty surfaces using a dry,
soft cloth. If necessary, remove
grease stains or persistent dirt with
a lint-free, firmly wrung cloth, dipped
in a solution of water containing
only a few drops of mild detergent,
such as washing-up liquid.
The loudspeaker front grill may be
cleaned with a vacuum cleaner with
a soft brush nozzle, and set to the
lowest level.
Never use alcohol or other solvents to
clean any parts of the loudspeaker!
Switching on and off
When you switch on your Bang &
Olufsen system, the loudspeaker
switches on simultaneously, and
when you switch the system off
again the loudspeaker also switches
off.
NOTE! Prolonged listening at high
volume levels may cause hearing
damages.

qualified service personnel!
– The loudspeaker is designed for
indoor use in dry, domestic
environments only, and for use
within a temperature range of
10–40º C (50–105º F).

To connect the loudspeaker to
your system, you will require a
mains cord and a Power Link
cable. These cables are available
as optional accessories from your

Use a Power Link cable of the
correct type to connect the
loudspeaker to a Power Link
socket on the Bang & Olufsen
system.
For further information about
connections, refer to the Guide
enclosed with the system.

Cable clamp: For safety reasons,
the mains cord from the wall outlet
must be secured to the loudspeaker.
To do so, tug the cord behind the
clamp.
Power Link cable: Do not use a
cable of the older type, as this will
cause noise, and therefore not give
optimum sound quality!
The new type has a triangular mark
on the plug.

8Adapt the loudspeaker to your room
When a loudspeaker is placed in
a corner or close to a wall, the
bass level is boosted compared to
the bass level from a loudspeaker
placed in a more free-standing
position.
To remove this excessive bass
boost, use the POSITION switch
to ensure that the bass level suits
the placement of the loudspeaker.
The appropriate switch setting
depends on the distance from
the loudspeaker to the walls and
corners of the room.
The POSITION switch
The POSITION switch has two
settings – F and W:
• F (Free-standing position)
Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed so that the front grill is
more than 50 cm (20") from the
rear wall.
• W (Wall position)
Use this setting if the loudspeaker
is placed so that the front grill is
less than 50 cm (20") from the rear
wall.
Always use this setting when the
loudspeaker is placed on the wall
bracket.
The POSITION switch is located on
the socket panel.
How to measure… The distance
is measured as shown here – the
loudspeaker seen from above.
