SAFETY & WARNINGS

• For your safety, the information in this user guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

• Read all instructions carefully and retain this guide for future reference.

• If you are not completely confident in wall mounting this product, consult a licensed trade professional before installation. It is extremely important that this product is installed correctly. If mounting is not carried out in the correct manner, there is a high risk of injury and/or damage to your TV and/or other objects.

• The soundbar should not be used near water, such as near a bathtub, sink, bathtub, or swimming pool.

• The soundbar should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings.

• This soundbar should not be built in (i.e. to a bookcase or cabinet), which may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

• The soundbar should be situated away from sources of heat such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers).

• The soundbar should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.

• Power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. It is always best to have a clear area from where the cord exits the soundbar to where it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

• Clean the soundbar only with a dry cloth.

• Care should be taken to ensure that objects do not fall, and liquids are not spilled into any openings or vents on the soundbar.

• Do not use attachments not recommended by Kogan.com.

• In the instance of lightning or a power surge, unplug the soundbar from the electrical outlet to prevent damage to the soundbar.

• Do not overload electrical outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

• In the following instances where the soundbar is damaged, cease use immediately and contact help.Kogan.com for support:
  • The power cord or plug has been damaged.
  • Objects have fallen on or liquid has been spilled into openings of the soundbar.
  • The soundbar has been exposed to rain.
  • The soundbar has been dropped or damaged.
  • The soundbar exhibits a marked change in performance or does not operate normally.

• If the soundbar is to be left unused for an extended period, such as a month or longer, the power cord should be unplugged from the soundbar to prevent damage or corrosion.

• Do not attempt to repair the soundbar yourself. If the soundbar is damaged, cease use immediately and contact help.Kogan.com for support.

• Refer to the information on the exterior bottom enclosure for electrical and safety information before installing or operating the soundbar.

• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this soundbar to rain or moisture, including dripping or splashing. Ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on the soundbar.

• The electrical outlet must be accessible after installation.

• If the battery leaks, wipe away the leakage inside the battery compartment and replace the battery with a new one.

• Do not use any batteries other than those specified.

• Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Never throw batteries into fire or water.

• Do not carry or store batteries with other metallic objects. Doing so could cause batteries to short circuit, leak or explode.
