3 UNPACKING INSTRUCTION

The Sonus faber subwoofer has been packed in a manner that effectively preserves it, while making its removal
simple.
We suggest, however, that you follow the following general recommendations:
• keep all packaging material for future transport;
• do not wear any watches, bracelets, rings, etc., in order to avoid scratching the subwoofer during unpacking.
Carefully protect the subwoofer from contact with any metal finishes of clothing worn, such as zips, buttons,
buckles, rivets, etc.

3.1 UNPACKING THE SUBWOOFER

Perform the unpacking operations as indicated by the images in Section 7 (Illustrations).
The subwoofer could be very heavy. To prevent injuries, lift it with caution and, if necessary, request
the help of a second person. Check the product to make sure it is not damaged. If this is not the case,
do not connect the subwoofer to a current outlet and contact the dealer immediately.

3.2 STRING GRILLE

If present, in case the string grille has to be removed, slide the bar pins out starting from the top and then proceed
downwards. Refer to the images in Section 7 (Illustrations).
