The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (bracket, ground anchoring, etc.) de-
pend on the conditions and standards of installation, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and ap-
plicable to the surfaces and/or brackets involved. In addition, the products may vibrate and damage the
brackets onto which they are mounted. For this reason, the installation operations must be performed by
a qualified professional who is familiar with 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 incident, accident and/or any other
result or damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers.
Conditions of warranty
All Focal loudspeakers are covered by warranty drawn up by the official Focal distributor in your country. Your distributor
can provide all details concerning the conditions of warranty. Warranty cover extends at least to that granted by the legal
warranty in force in the country where the original purchase invoice was issued.

Warning symbol. This symbol is designed to warn the user of the presence of
important instructions mentioned and relating to the handling, operation and
maintenance of the device.
15. Do not turn on any function
likely to distract you when driving.
Functions or settings that require pro-
longed attention should only be used
when the vehicle is at a complete stop.
There is a risk of accident.
16. Do not listen to the loudspeakers
at a high volume, so that you can hear
external noise when driving.
17. Only use accessories recommended
by the manufacturer.
18. If cords or connectors are supplied,
use them properly as described in this
user manual without modifying them.
19. Do not attempt to repair this de-
vice yourself. Opening this device may
expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks.
20. 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, expo-
sure to rain or humidity, if the device
malfunctions or overturns, etc.).
21. After any maintenance or repair
work on the device, ask the mainte-
nance technician to test it to check
that it is working safely.
22. When replacement components
are needed, make sure that the
maintenance technician uses the
components recommended by the
manufacturer or components with
exactly the same technical features as

work on the device, ask the mainte-
nance technician to test it to check
that it is working safely.
24. If a subwoofer is installed in the
vehicle, it is essential to secure it by
attaching it firmly. We recommend
attaching the subwoofer to the floor
or chassis of the vehicle for safety.
If it is not properly secured, it could
become a projectile in the event of an
accident. This is even more important
if the subwoofer is installed in a hatch-
back, a station wagon, a utility vehicle
or a van.
25. Some users are not self-sufficient
enough to use the product on their
own without danger. In particular,
children under 14 or people with some
types of disabilities must be super-
vised and accompanied when using
the device.
26. 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.
