Mounting Precautions:
- Please select screws and mounting location supporting 4 times the system weight.
- Do not expose the system to excessive dust, vibrations, to extreme cold or hot temperatures, to reduce the risk of
damaging components.
- Do not place the system in an unstable position: it could fall accidentally.

Connection and Powering Precautions:
- Unplug connected cables before moving the system.
- Power off the system before connecting the system.
- When switching on the installation, the amplifier must be powered last; when switching the installation off, shut off the
amplifier first.
- If you work by cold temperatures, progressively raise the level to nominal value during the first minutes of use, to allow the
system components to stabilize.
Please check regularly the system condition.

Exposure to very high sound pressure levels may cause permanent hearing losses. Degrees of hearing losses may be different
from one person to another, but almost everybody will be affected if exposed to high sound pressure levels during a long period of
time. The OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) American Agency specified the following maximal exposures:
