An example of this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the following European directives and international standards: Electromagnetic compatibility EN 55103 EN 61000 Electrical safety EN 60065 Important safety information Please read carefully the following instructions and safety information. Heed all warnings and follow all instructions. - Do not remove the back panel. There are no user serviceable parts inside; please refer to qualified service personnel. This equipment must be earthed. - Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. - Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. - Servicing is required when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as power cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the unit, the unit has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. - Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus. - Use the apparatus only in moderate climates (not in tropical climates). - Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing. - Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus. CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE The Solo6 Be and Twin6 Be use a tweeter equipped with a Beryllium dome, allowing a frequency range extending beyond 40kHz. In its solid form, Beryllium is harmless. However, due to its nature, certain special precautions should be observed to avoid exposure to unnecessary risk: - Under no circumstances should the Beryllium dome be subjected to any form of abrasive action. To ensure no accidental damage to the tweeter dome it is advised to carefully replace the protection covers while not in use. - In the unlikely case of damage to the dome, of any form, a wide piece of adhesive tape should be immediately used to seal the whole front surface of the tweeter. The protective cover should then be replaced and also taped securely in place. You should then inform the dealer from whom you purchased the product so that the tweeter can be removed by a professional and returned to the product distributor for replacement. - If the dome is broken in any way giving rise to loose particles of Beryllium, these should be carefully collected with the use of an adhesive tape and sealed in a zip-top bag to be returned with the tweeter.

Inspect the speaker for signs of any possible damage.In the unlikely event of this having occurred please inform the carrier and supplier. It is a good practice to keep the packaging in case of future transportation. Preliminary recommendations We would like to give a word of warning about the high sound pressure levels that can be generated by these loudspeakers, especially in a 5.1 configuration. Because of their low levels of distortion, and the minimal fatigue incurred by the user, it is not always obvious to realise the actual sound pressure level while working. Please bear in mind that exposure to excessive levels over a sustained period of time may lead to permanent hearing loss.
