6.0 RuNNING-IN
You should expect the sound quality from your new subwoofer to gradually improve during the
initial period of use. Nothing particular has to be done in order to run in the subwoofer – but
expect up to 100 hours of playback (depending on playback level) before full performance level
is reached. Use normal music for running-in the subwoofer.
7.0 OVERLOADING
If DALI SUB C-8 D is overloaded, the built-in safety circuit may power down the subwoofer. The
subwoofer will power on again when the temperature of the built-in amplifier is within safe
working range. If overloaded, we recommend that you turn off the subwoofer for a few minutes
before turning it on again.
NOTE: The built-in safety circuit is no guarantee against damage as a result of overloading.
8.0 MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the subwoofer surfaces can be done with ordinary household cleaning agents and
using a micro fibre cloth. Avoid using products that are abrasive or contains acid, alkali or anti-
bacterial agents. Avoid using aerosols. Avoid using cleaning agents directly on the drive unit
and clean it with extreme care.
8.1 AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT
The surfaces of the subwoofer may fade or become discoloured over time when exposed to
direct sunlight. Therefore avoid positioning the subwoofer in direct sunlight.
9.0 DISPOSAL
DALI products are designed to meet the international directives concerning Restriction of
Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). The waste symbol indicates that the subwoofer meet the directives. The subwoofer
must be processed or recycled appropriately. Please consult your local waste authority for
guidance.
