Important Safety Precautions

Attention:

Please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to

operate your Advent Subwoofer. Be sure to save this manual

for future reference. Also save your bill of sale, as it may be

required for warranty service.

Caution:
Please ensure that the correct plug is used on your AC outlet.

Cleaning -

Unplug the Advent Subwoofer from the wall outlet

before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Attachments -

Do not use attachments not recommended by

Advent, as they may cause hazards.

Water and Moisture -

Do not use the Advent Subwoofer near

water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,

or laundry tub; in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or

similar locations.

Accessories -

Do not place the Advent Subwoofer on an

unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may

fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious

damage to the product. Use only with cart, stand, tripod,

bracket, or table recommended by Advent, or sold with the

Advent Subwoofer. Any mounting of the speakers should

follow Advent’s instructions and should use a mounting

accessory recommended by Advent.

Ventilation -

Slots and openings in the Advent Subwoofer are

provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation and to pro-

tect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked

or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing

the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. The

Advent subwoofer should not be placed in a built-in

installation, such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventila-

tion is provided or Advent’s instructions have been followed.

Power Sources -

The Advent Subwoofer should be operated

only from the type of power source indicated on the marking

label. If you are not sure of power supply to your home,

consult your Advent dealer or local power company.

Grounding and Polarization -

The Advent Subwoofer may

be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a

plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit

into the outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the

plug. If the plug is still unable to fit, contact your electrician to

replace your obsolete outlet.

Power-cord Protection -

Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by

items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention

to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point

where they exit from the Subwoofer.

Lightning -

For added protection for the Advent Subwoofer

during a lighting storm, or when left unattended and unused for

long periods of time, unplug from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the Advent Subwoofer during lighting strikes and

power-line surges.

Overloading -

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords,

or integral convenience receptacles, as this can result in risk of

fire or electric shock.

Object and Liquid entry -

Never push objects of any kind into

this product through openings as they may touch dangerous

voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the Advent

Subwoofer.

Servicing

-

Do not attempt to service the Advent Subwoofer

yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to

qualified Advent service personnel.

Damage requiring service -

Unplug the Advent Subwoofer

from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel

under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

product.

c. If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the product does not operate normally by following

the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions. An

improper adjustment may result in damage requiring

extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the

Advent Subwoofer to its normal operation.

e. If the Advent Subwoofer has been dropped or

damaged in any way.

f. If the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Replacement parts -

When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by Advent, or those having the same characteristics

as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in

fire, electric shock or other hazards.

Safety check -

Upon completion of any service or repairs to

this product, ask the service technician to perform safety

checks to determine that the product is in proper operating

condition.

Heat -

The Advent Subwoofer should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other

products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
