Safety Information

For the intended audience

This guide has been written for professional installers of 
music systems or for licensed electricians.

CAUTION: 

Only an experienced contractor should install the 

BUILT-INvisible

®

 home theater system from Bose. Familiarity 

with standard electrical practices, as recognized by a 
licensed engineer or governmental agency in your area, is 
necessary. If you do not have these qualifications, do not 
install the BUILT-INvisible home theater system, the system 
chassis, or any other installed Bose

®

 products.

CAUTION: 

Do not mount the chassis to an uninsulated 

exterior wall or in locations where condensation may occur.

CAUTION: 

Check local regulations before installing or wiring 

the TA-2 theater amplifier. The building code may require 
professional installation by a skilled technician or licensed 
contractor. Regional or electrical codes may require similar 
qualifications for wiring the system.

WARNING: 

The TA-2 theater amplifier is an electrical appli-

ance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. As with all 
electrical appliances, dangerous electrical shock may result if 
unqualified personnel attempt repair. Only Bose-authorized 
personnel should perform service.

WARNING: 

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do 

not expose this system to rain or moisture.

CAUTION: 

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disas-

semble the TA-2 theater amplifier chassis. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service 
personnel.

 

The CAUTION marks shown here are on the bottom end of 
the chassis.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an 
equilateral triangle, alerts the user to the presence of 
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the chassis 

enclosure. This voltage may be sufficient to constitute a risk 
of electrical shock.

 

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle 
alerts the user to the presence of important operat-
ing instructions in this installer’s guide.

 

 

WARNING: 

To prevent electric shock do not use this plug 

with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the 
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK — DO NOT OPEN

TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. 

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT

EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION

ADVERTISSEMENT :

de courant ou une autre sortie de courant, sauf si les lames 
peuvent etre inserees a fond sans en laisser aucune partie a 
decouvrir.

RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE—NE PAS OUVRIR

AFIN DE PRÉVENIR TOUT RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE, 

NE PAS ENLEVER LE COUVERCLE ARRIÈRE. IL NE SE

TROUVE À L’INTÉRIEUR AUCUNE PIÈCE POUVANT
ÊTRE RÉPARÉE PAR L’UTILISATEUR. S’ADRESSER
