8Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement
of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this device to
rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on it.
16 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I
apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric
shock. Make sure that you connect any Class I device to a grounding-type,
three-prong outlet.
17 DO NOT overload wall outlets or extension cords beyond their rated
capacity as this can cause electric shock or fire.
18 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily
operable.
19 No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the
apparatus.
20 The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
21 The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe
internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death.

22 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire,
or the like.
23 Keep new and used batteries away from children.
24 If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the
product and keep it away from children.
25 If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside any
part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
Placement
• The soundbar cabinet is made out of plastic and is therefore sensitive to
extreme temperatures and humidity. Do not put it in locations subject to
direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner,
humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the soundbar. If liquid is spilled on
top of the soundbar, it may be damaged.
• The soundbar should be placed on a sturdy, flat surface that is free from
vibration, or mounted on a wall. Do not put the soundbar on an uneven or
unstable surface, where it may fall and cause damage.
Using close to a TV or computer
Some older TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices.
They are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional
speakers are placed nearby. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the
soundbar away from your TV or monitor.
Warning
Danger of explosion if the remote control battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous
voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
