Thank you for purchasing TOA’s Box Speaker.

Please carefully follow the instructions in this manual to ensure long, trouble-free use of your equipment.

BS-4W

1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation.

• Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.

• After reading, keep this manual handy for future reference.

• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately stop using the speaker, and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the speaker in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.

· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the speaker.

· If water or any metallic object gets into the speaker

· If the speaker falls, or the speaker case breaks

· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

• To prevent a fire or electric shock, never open nor remove the speaker case. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Refer all installation work to the dealer from whom the speaker was purchased. Installation requires extensive technical knowledge and experience.

The speaker may fall off if incorrectly installed, resulting in possible personal injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

• Avoid touching the speaker’s sharp metal edge to prevent injury.

• Install the speaker only in a location that can structurally support the weight (1.5 kg or 3.31 lb) of the speaker and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• Do not place heavy objects on the speaker as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.

• Do not use other methods than specified to mount the bracket. Extreme force is applied to the speaker and the speaker could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.

• Do not operate the speaker for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. Doing so may cause the connected speakers to heat, resulting in a fire.

• Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the ceiling’s or wall’s structure and composition. Failure to do so may cause the speaker to fall, resulting in material damage and possible personal injury.

• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the speaker as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the bracket has no loose joints after installation to prevent accidents that could result in personal injury.

• Have the speaker checked periodically by the shop from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result in corrosion or damage to the speaker or its mounting bracket that could cause the speaker to fall, possibly causing personal injury.

• Do not mount the speaker in locations exposed to constant vibration. The mounting bracket can be damaged by excessive vibration, potentially causing the speaker to fall, which could result in personal injury.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The BS-4W is a splash proof compact speaker with a closed-cabinet design.

It features a 10 cm (4") full range speaker unit (plastic cone) and meets IPX2* water protection requirements. It can be used under the eaves not directly exposed to rain or waterdrop, or in highly humid locations (locker rooms of swimming pools and bathrooms).

* The speaker meets a requirement that "Vertically dripping water shall have no harmful effect when the enclosure is tilted at an angle up to 15° from its normal position."

3. INSTALLATION

Notes on installation

• Be sure to position the speaker with its front facing down from the horizontal axis. Doing otherwise may cause rainwater to accumulate inside the opening, possibly resulting in unit malfunction.

• Do not use the speaker in locations such as poolside where the speaker is always exposed to water splash, or in hightemperature and high-humidity locations such as bathrooms and steam saunas where dew condensation may form.

Besides, do not dash water directly on the speaker.
