[GETTING STARTED AND PRECAUTIONARY NOTES]
For proper connection and therefore full enjoyment of your new Phase Technology®speakers, we encourage you to read this owners’ manual
thoroughly, even if you are very familiar with installing speakers.
The Solaris®speaker is designed for indoor and outdoor playback of music and home theater sources. These omnidirectional speakers feature
powder-coated aluminum grilles and stainless steel fasteners that weather the elements and includes theft-resistant mounting hardware.
Speaker placement is very subjective. Each speaker should be positioned properly, relative to the listening area for good coverage.
[CARING FOR YOUR SOLARIS®SPEAKER]
Your Solaris®speakers are engineered for both indoor and outdoor use and operations. Random water hitting the speaker will not damage
your Solaris®speakers making it ideally suited for placement in close proximity to swimming pools and spas. The Solaris®speaker is not
intended for use underwater.
Ordinary dust and dirt accumulation will not harm the Solaris®speaker. If you wish to clean the Solaris®speaker, household glass cleaning
solution sprayed on a paper towel may be used for light cleanup. For heavier stains, a soap and water solution applied with a rag or sponge
should remove the dirt and stains. Avoid spraying the Solaris®speaker with a high-pressure hose.
[MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE]
Because of Phase Technology’s uncompromising quality control programs, it’s unlikely that your speakers will ever need service if connected
and used as outlined in this Owners’ Manual. In the unlikely event that a problem does occur, please contact your Phase Technology dealer.
Your dealer has the necessary factory-authorized parts and trained technicians to quickly restore your speaker to its original performance
specications.
