IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ INSTRUCTIONS - All safety and 

operating instructions should be read 
before the 

MegaWorks 510D amplified 

subwoofer/satellite system is operated.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and 

operating instructions should be retained 
for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the 

subwoofer and in the operating instructions 
should be adhered to.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and 

use instructions should be followed.

CLEANING  - Unplug the subwoofer from the 

wall outlet or other power source before 
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol 
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not 

recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks 
as they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use the 

subwoofer near water—for example, near a 
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or 
laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a 
swimming pool; and the like.

ACCESSORIES - Do not place the 

MegaWorks 510D system on an unstable 
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The 
subwoofer or satellites may fall, causing 
serious injury to a child or adult, and 
serious damage to the product. Use only 
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table 
recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks, 
or sold with the product. Any mounting of 
the satellites or subwoofer should  follow 
the manufacturer’s instructions, and should 
use a mounting accessory recommended 
by Cambridge SoundWorks.

VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the 

cabinet are provided for ventilation, to 
ensure reliable operation of the subwoofer 
and to prevent it from overheating; and 
these openings must not be blocked or 
covered. The openings should never be 
blocked by placing the product on a bed, 
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. The 
subwoofer should not be placed in a built-in 
installation such as a bookcase or rack 
unless proper ventilation is provided or 
Cambridge SoundWorks’ instructions have 
been adhered to.

HEAT - The subwoofer should be situated 

away from heat sources such as 
radiators, heat registers, stoves, and 
other products (including amplifiers) that 
produce heat.

POWER SOURCES - The subwoofer should 

be operated only from the type of power 
source indicated on the marking label. If 
you are not sure of the type of power supply 
to your home, consult your product dealer 
or local power company. For products 
intended to operate from battery power or 
other sources, refer to the operating 
instructions.

POLARIZATION - The subwoofer may be 

equipped with a polarized alternating-
current line plug (a plug having one blade 
wider than the other). This plug will fit into 
the power outlet only one way. This is a 
safety feature. If you are unable to insert 
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing 
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, 
contact your electrician to replace your 
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety 
purpose of the polarized plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply 

cords should be routed so that they are not 
likely to be walked on or pinched by items 
placed upon or against them, paying 
particular attention to cords at plugs, 
convenience receptacles, and the point 
where they exit from the subwoofer.

LIGHTNING - For added protection for the 

MegaWorks 510D system during a 
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended 
and unused for long periods of time, unplug 
it from the wall outlet. This will prevent 
damage to the subwoofer due to lightning 
and power-line surges.

OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets, 

extension cords, or integral convenience 
receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire 
or electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push 

objects of any kind into the subwoofer 
through openings as they may touch 
dangerous voltage points or short out parts 
that could result in a fire or electric shock. 
Never spill liquid of any kind on the 
subwoofer.

SERVICING - Do not attempt to service the 

subwoofer yourself as opening or removing 
covers may expose you to dangerous 
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing 
to qualified service personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE -  Unplug 

the subwoofer from the wall outlet or other 
power source and refer servicing to 
qualified service personnel under the 
following conditions:

a) When the power-supply cord or plug is 

damaged.

b) If liquid has been spilled, or object have 

fallen into the subwoofer.

c) If the subwoofer has been exposed to rain 

or water.

d) If the subwoofer does not operate normally 

by following the operating instructions; or 
exhibits a distinct change in performance.

e) If the product has been dropped or 

damaged in any way.

REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement 

parts are required, be sure the service 
technician has used replacement parts 
specified by Cambridge SoundWorks or 
have the same characteristics as the 
original part. Unauthorized substitutions 
may result in fire, electric shock, or other 
hazards.

SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any 

service or repairs to the 

MegaWorks 510D 

system, ask the service technician to 
perform safety checks to determine that the

 

MegaWorks 510D system is in proper 
operating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The 

MegaWorks 510D satellites should be 
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as 
recommended by Cambridge SoundWorks.
