Heco Ambient 5.1 A - Manual (Page 8)

Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing HECO!
For best results and to avoid damage please study the instructions and information below carefully before
using your new loudspeakers.
The triangle with a lightning symbol warns the user that high voltage is used within the device
which can result in electric shock.
The triangle with an exclamation mark informs the user that important operating and
maintenance instructions (repair) are contained in the accompanying instruction manual, which
must be observed.
DO NOT OPEN! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
CAUTION: In order to avoid electric shock do not open the speaker
housing/mains adapters or remove the covers. The user is not to conduct
any repairs him/herself. Repairs should only be conducted by qualified
technicians! Do not use any sockets or extension cables that do not fully
accommodate the plug of the device.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This
manual contains important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative
you observe all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe location.
• Never subject the subwoofer to dripping or splashing water. Do not place any flower vases or other
filled recipients on top of the subwoofer.
• The distance between the active subwoofer enclosure and the walls of the room or other objects
(e. g. furniture, shelf units) may not be less than 5 cm on any side.
The aluminium plate and cooling fins of the amplifier at the rear of the active subwoofer serve to cool
the built-in amplifier; for this reason, they must also be at least 5 cm away from all objects and must
not be covered (e.g. by a curtain).
The bass reflex opening(s) on the active subwoofer must not be covered (e. g. by curtains, etc.) in
order to guarantee adequate ventilation of the amplifier.
• The subwoofer should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked
flames, etc.).
• Only operate the subwoofer at an ambient/room temperature from 10°C to 40°C. The active subwoofer
may not be used in very humid rooms.
• Please do not place any items with naked flames (e.g. candles) on the active subwoofer.
• Please do not touch or connect the mains cable when your hands are damp.
• Keep the mains cable away from heaters.
• The device should not continue to be operated if there is visible damage to the mains cable. A damaged
cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
• Never place heavy items on the mains cable.
• The mains cable should always be freely accessible.
• If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be
disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device should also be disconnected from
the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage caused by lightning and
overvoltage.
