JBL EON 206P - Page 5

Section 2: Precautions
The
EON 206P
PA system covered by this
manual
is not intended for use in high
moisture environments. Moisture can damage the speaker cone and surround and cause
corrosion
of
electrical
contacts and
metal parts. Avoid exposing the speakers to direct
moisture. Keep speakers out
of
extended
or
intense direct
sunlight.
The driver suspension
will prematurely
dry out and finished surfaces may be degraded by
long-term
exposure
to intense
ultra-violet (UV) light. The
EON 206P PA system can generate considerable
energy. When
placed
on a
slippery
surface such as
polished
wood
or
linoleum,
the
speaker may move due to its
acoustical
energy output. Precautions should be taken to
assure that the speaker does not
fall
off a stage
or
table on which it is
placed.
Stand
Mounting
Safety
Precautions
The EON 206P
speakers contain a 36 mm
receptacle
cup to
allow
mounting on tripod stands
or
on a
pole
over
subwoofers. 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
the
speaker.
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 and
be sure to
fully
extend the
legs
of
tripod type stands. Position the stand
so
that the
legs
do
not
present a trip hazard.
•
Route
cables
so that performers, production crew, and audience will
not trip and topple
the
speakers over.
• Inspect
the stand (or
pole
and associated hardware) before each use and do not use equipment with
worn, 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 to
any 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
help
you
get
it onto the tripod stand
or
pole.
Hearing Damage,
Prolonged Exposure To Excessive
SPL
The
EON 206P
system is capable
of
generating sound pressure
levels (SPL) sufficient to cause permanent
hearing damage to performers, production crew and audience members. Caution
should
be taken to avoid
prolonged
exposure to
SPL
in excess
of
90 dB.
