READ INSTRUCTIONS – All safety and
operating instructions should be read
before the FPS1800 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 use 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 Cambridge
SoundWorks 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.
ACCESSORIES – Do not place the FPS1800
system on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The subwoofer or
satellites may fall, causing serious injury to
a person, and serious damage to the
product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by
Cambridge SoundWorks, or sold with the
product. Any mounting of the satellites or
subwoofer should follow the
VENTILATION – Slots and openings in the
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 – Unplug the FPS1800 system
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of
time. 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 an object
has 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.
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
Cambridge SoundWorks’ instructions have
been adhered to.
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 Cambridge SoundWorks
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 FPS1800 system,
ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the FPS1800
system is in proper operating condition.
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.
