5Section 2: PrecautionsThe EON 206P PA system covered by this manual is not intended for use in highmoisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and causecorrosion of electrical contacts and metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to directmoisture. Keep speakers out of extended or intense direct sunlight. The driver suspensionwill prematurely dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by long-term exposureto intense ultra-violet (UV) light. The EON 206P PA system can generate considerableenergy. When placed on a slippery surface such as polished wood or linoleum, thespeaker may move due to its acoustical energy output. Precautions should be taken toassure that the speaker does not fall off a stage or table on which it is placed.Stand Mounting Safety PrecautionsThe EON 206P speakers contain a 36 mm receptacle cup to allow mounting on tripod stands or on a pole oversubwoofers. When using stands or poles, be sure to observe the following precautions:• Check the stand or pole specification to be certain the device is designed to support the weight of thespeaker. Observe all safety precautions specified by the manufacturer.• Always verify that the stand (or subwoofer/pole) is placed on a flat, level and stable surface andbe sure to fully extend the legs of tripod type stands. Position the stand so that the legs do notpresent a trip hazard.• Route cables so that performers, production crew, and audience will not trip and topple thespeakers over.• Inspect the stand (or pole and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment withworn, damaged or missing parts.• Do not attempt to place more than one EON 206P series speaker on a stand or pole.• Always be cautious in windy, outdoor conditions. It may be necessary to place additional weight (i.e.sandbags) on the base of the stand to improve stability. Avoid attaching banners or similar items toany part of a speaker system. Such attachments could act as a sail and topple the system.• Unless you are confident that you can handle the weight of the speaker, ask another person to helpyou get it onto the tripod stand or pole.Hearing Damage, Prolonged Exposure To Excessive SPLThe EON 206P system is capable of generating sound pressure levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanenthearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution should be taken to avoidprolonged exposure to SPL in excess of 90 dB.WATCH FOR THESE SYMBOLS!The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intendedto alert the user to the presence of important operatingand maintenance (Servicing) instructions in the literatureaccompanying the product.The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol within anequilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presenceof un-insulated “Dangerous Voltage” within the productsenclusure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.!WARNING TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR
