Warning. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, shock or other injury
or damage to Piccolo or other property.
It is important that loudspeaker systems are
used in a safe manner.
Avoiding Hearing Damage.
Never stand close to loudspeakers driven at high
volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that
may sound normal but can be damaging to your
hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears
or muffled speech, stop listening and have your
hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less
time is required before your hearing could be
affected.
Choking Hazards.
Piccolo contains small parts, which may present a
choking hazard to small children. Keep Piccolo and
its accessories away from small children.
Avoiding Water and Wet Locations.
Do not install the speaker in wet or humid locations
without using weather protection. Take care not to
spill any food or liquid on Piccolo. To clean Piccolo,
switch the system off, and unplug all cables and
allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again.
Do not attempt to dry Piccolo with an external heat
source, such as a microwave oven or hair dryer.
A Piccolo that has been damaged as a result of
exposure to liquids could be not serviceable.
Keeping the Outside of Piccolo Clean.
Handle your Piccolo with care to maintain its
appearance. To clean Piccolo, unplug all cables
and turn off it. Then use a soft, dry or slighty
damp cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings.
Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners,
aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or
abrasives to clean Piccolo.
Carrying, Handling and Installing Piccolo.
Piccolo contains sensitive components. Do not
drop, disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform,
puncture, shred, microwave, incinerate, paint, or
insert foreign objects into Piccolo.
Do not operate the speaker for an extended
period of time with sound distortion. This is
an indication of malfunction, which in turn can
generate heat and result in a fire.
To reduce the risk of overheating the amplifier,
avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
Do not install the unit near heat emitting
appliances, such as a room heater or stove.
No naked flame sources such as lighted candles
should be placed near the device.
Operate Piccolo in a place where the
temperature is between -20°C and 50°C (-4°F to
122° F). Avoid dramatic changes in temperature
or humidity when using Piccolo, as condensation
may form on or within Piccolo.
During the use, it is normal for Piccolo to get
warm. The exterior of Piccolo functions as a
cooling surface that transfers heat from inside
the unit to the cooler air outside.
