Safety Instructions

  1. Please read the instructions carefully before installation and use.
  2. Prior to installing the speakers into any ceiling/wall, check the structure for weight bearing ability and avoid contact with any wiring or plumbing that might be behind the surface area. Installing on soft materials or in areas incapable of supporting the speakers' weight may cause personal injury or damage to the speaker.  
  3. Make sure the speaker is properly secured to the ceiling/wall. Please use the proper screws, bolts, or anchors. Failure to do so may cause the speaker to become unsecured and cause potential damages/injuries.  
  4. Damage to the woofer and tweeter may occur if the speaker is dropped or hit-resulting in no sound or distorted sound.  
  5. Never overdrive your speakers to the point of distortion and always reduce volume prior to switching input sources.
  6. Use only approved and certified wiring in your installation, do not stretch or place the wire in contact with sharp objects.
  7. Prior to removing cables ensure all power to your amplifier and other components is turned off.
