WARNING
• THE S3 MKII USES A TWEETER EQUIPPED WITH A DIAMOND COATED BERYLLIUM DOME,
ALLOWING A FREQUENCY RANGE EXTENDING BEYOND 40kHz. IN ITS SOLID FORM,
BERYLLIUM IS HARMLESS. HOWEVER, DUE TO ITS NATURE, CERTAIN SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
SHOULD BE OBSERVED TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO UNNECESSARY RISK. SUCH AS:
• UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE BERYLLIUM DOME BE SUBJECTED TO ANY FORM
OF ABRASIVE ACTION.
• IN THE UNLIKELY CASE OF DAMAGE TO THE DOME, OF ANY FORM, A WIDE PIECE OF
ADHESIVE TAPE SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY USED TO SEAL THE WHOLE FRONT SURFACE OF
THE TWEETER. YOU SHOULD THEN INFORM THE DEALER WHO YOU PURCHASED THE
PRODUCT FROM, SO THAT THE TWEETER CAN BE REMOVED AND REPLACED BY A
PROFESSIONAL.
• IF THE DOME IS DAMAGED IN ANY CAUSING LOOSE PARTICLES OF BERYLLIUM, THESE
SHOULD BE CAREFULLY COLLECTED WITH THE USE OF ADHESIVE TAPE, PLACED IN A
SEALABLE BAG, AND RETURNED ALONG WITH THE TWEETER.
