IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and operating

instructions should be read before the GigaWorks S750/
S700
amplified subwoofer/satellite system is operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating

instructions should be retained for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the subwoofer and

in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and usage

instructions should be followed.

CLEANING - Unplug the subwoofer from the wall outlet or

other power source before cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not

recommended by Creative Technology as they may
cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the subwoofer

near water—for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near
a swimming pool; and the like.

ACCESSORIES - Do not place the GigaWorks S750/S700

system on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The subwoofer or satellites may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to
the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by Creative
Technology, or sold with the product. Any mounting of
the satellites or subwoofer should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by Creative Technology.

VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet are

provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of
the subwoofer and to prevent it from overheating; and
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 subwoofer should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided or Creative Technology’s
instructions have been adhered to.

HEAT - The subwoofer should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
and other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.

POWER SOURCES - The subwoofer should be

operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For products intended
to operate from battery power or other sources, refer
to the operating instructions.

POLARIZATION - The 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 power 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 should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

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 GigaWorks

S750/S700 system during a lightning storm, or when it
is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage
to the subwoofer due to lightning and power-line
surges.

OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as
this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects

of any kind into the subwoofer 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 subwoofer.

SERVICING - Do not attempt to service the subwoofer

yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug the

subwoofer from the wall outlet or other power source
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:

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

b)If liquid has been spilled, or object have fallen into the
subwoofer.

c)If the subwoofer has been exposed to rain or water.

d)If the subwoofer does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions; or exhibits a
distinct change in performance.

e)If the product has been dropped or damaged in any
way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by Creative Technology, or
have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or

repairs to the GigaWorks S750/S700 system, ask the
service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the GigaWorks S750/S700 system is in
proper operating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The GigaWorks

S750/S700 satellites should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by Creative Technology.
