IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Verify Line Voltage Before Use
The JBL CINEMA SB180 (soundbar and
subwoofer) has been designed for use with 100-
240 volt, 50/60 Hz AC current. Connection to a
line voltage other than that for which your product
is intended can create a safety and fire hazard
and may damage the unit. If you have any
questions about the voltage requirements for your
specific model or about the line voltage in your
area, contact your retailer or customer service
representative before plugging the unit into a wall
outlet.
Do Not Use Extension Cords
To avoid safety hazards, use only the power cord
supplied with your unit. We do not recommend
that extension cords be used with this product. As
with all electrical devices, do not run power cords
under rugs or carpets, or place heavy objects on
them. Damaged power cords should be replaced
immediately by an authorized service center with
a cord that meets factory specifications.
Handle the AC Power Cord Gently
When disconnecting the power cord from an AC
outlet, always pull the plug; never pull the cord. If
you do not intend to use this speaker for any
considerable length of time, disconnect the plug
from the AC outlet.
Do Not Open the Cabinet
There are no user-serviceable components inside
this product. Opening the cabinet may present a
shock hazard, and any modification to the product
will void your warranty. If water accidentally falls
inside the unit, disconnect it from the AC power
source immediately, and consult an authorized
service center.
