An exclamation mark in an equilateral triangle warns the user that the manual
contains important instructions on how to use and look after the device.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all the instructions.
5. Do not use this device near water.
6. Only clean with a dry cloth.
7. Do not obstruct ventilation
openings. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for installing the device.
8. Do not install the device close to a
heat source such as a radiator, cooker,
heat vents or any other appliance
(including amplifiers) that gives out
heat.
9. Only use accessories
recommended by the manufacturer. 10. Only use trolleys, stands, tripods,
mounts or tables recommended by
the manufacturer or sold with the
device. If using a trolley, take extra
care when moving the trolley and
device together, to prevent the device
from falling off and causing injury.
11. All maintenance tasks should be
performed by a qualified professional.
Maintenance is required in case of
any kind of damage to the device
(damaged cable or plug, spillages
or objects inserted into the device,
exposure to rain or humidity, if the
device malfunctions or overturns,
etc.).
12. To avoid damaging your hearing,
do not listen to loudspeakers at high
volumes for long periods of time.
Listening to loudspeakers at high
volumes can cause damage to the
user’s ears and may lead to hearing
problems (temporary or permanent
deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus,
hyperacusis). Exposure to excessive
volumes (over 85 dB) for more than
one hour can cause irreparable
damage to your hearing.
13. Your loudspeakers use a tweeter
with an inverted dome made from
pure beryllium, a substance that
is harmless in solid form. However,
given its nature, certain precautions
should be taken to avoid exposure to
unnecessary risks:
• The beryllium dome must never
come into contact with abrasive
materials.
• If the beryllium dome is damaged in
any way, use the protective adhesive
strip supplied to cover the entire
surface area of the dome, as soon as
possible. You will find the adhesive
strip in the plastic packet containing
the leaflet for the tweeter with an
inverted dome made from pure
beryllium. Contact the retailer to have
the tweeter dismantled and replaced
by trained personnel at the distributor.
• If the dome is broken, any beryllium
particles should be carefully collected
using sticky tape and then placed in
a hermetically sealed plastic bag and
sent back to the retailer along with
the loudspeaker.
For more information, please refer to
the safe use manual in the box.

The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to walls, ceilings or any other surface depend on the
conditions and standards of construction, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and applicable to the
brackets involved. In addition, the products may vibrate and damage the brackets in which they are installed.
For this reason, the relevant installation operations must be performed by a qualified professional who is familiar
with the installation and safety standards. Focal does not provide any end-of-use warranty for a given bracket
or installation, as installing the loudspeakers is the customer's sole responsibility. Focal is therefore not liable in any capacity
whatsoever in the event of unhooking, fall, accident and/or any other result or damage of any kind related to the installation
of loudspeakers.
