    • The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure, which may be of significant magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
    • The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended  to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintaining (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
    • WARNING — To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
    • CAUTION – These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

19. This apparatus has been equipped with a rocker-style AC mains power switch. This switch is located on the rear panel and should remain readily accessible to the user.

20. The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, so the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

21. Explanation of symbol, marking, signal lamp or similar means indicates that the apparatus is completely disconnected from the mains.

22. WARNING: Please refer to the information on exterior bottom enclosure for electrical and safety information before installing or operating the apparatus.

23. The maximum ambient temperature during use of the appliance must not exceed 10–50˚ C // 50–122˚ F.

24. NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, according to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
    to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used under the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

    • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
    • Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
    • Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
    • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
      CAUTION: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by LOUD Audio, LLC. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under FCC rules.

25. This apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. CAN ICES-003(B)/NMB-003(B)

26. This equipment is a Class II or double-insulated electrical appliance. It has been designed in such a way that it does not require a safety connection to electrical earth.

27. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada’s license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subjected to the following two conditions:

28. this device may not cause harmful interference, and

29. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

30. RF Power: <10dBm

    • Bluetooth Version: 5.0
    • Bluetooth frequency range: 2402 – 2480 MHz

31. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here:
