The lightning flash with arrowhead within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

3. Heed all warnings – All warnings on this product and in these operating instructions should be followed.
4. Follow all instructions – All operating and other instructions should be followed.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or a swamp.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. – This OWI product should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the component should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block any ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through ventilation openings.
8. Do not install the unit near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for the replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the apparatus.

16. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or another outlet unless the blades can fully be inserted to prevent blade exposure.
17. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a period of time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures shown in the following chart. According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. To ensure potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to prevent permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth here.
18. OWI recommends that these apparatus be placed on a switched power outlet, one that switches both sides and has contact separation of at least 3 millimeters.

SPEAKER SPECIFICATIONS

MODEL 2X2IC6NA

INSTALLATION

Speaker Placement
Before installing your OWI speakers, consider the placement carefully, taking into effect the location of electrical, plumbing and other fixtures.

Placement in Ceiling
OWI speakers should be ideally located above the primary listening area.

Mounting your OWI Speakers
Determine the best area to mount your OWI speakers. It will be necessary to run your speaker wires to that location. This location must be free of obstructions, such as electrical conduits, HVAC ducts, or water lines. Be sure there is at least a 4 1/2 inch clearance for the 2X2ICNA behind the mounting surface and no wall studs or other objects block the back of the speaker. Route the speaker wires from your amplifier to your opening. Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical wires. If you have to run them parallel, make certain to space the speaker wires at least 2 feet from the AC line. Do not nail or staple the speaker wire.

Connect the speaker wires to the speaker terminals. Connect one end of the red speaker cable to the red (+) terminal and the end of the black (-) speaker cable to the black terminal of the speaker. Make sure that none of the strands from the black and red wires are touching each other to prevent damage to your speaker and amplifier due to short circuit. Place the 2X2IC6NA into the opening securing it firmly on the 2X2 frame.

Proper Wire Gauge Selection
The gauge of wire required is determined by the distance between your amplifier/receiver and the speakers. Use the following chart as a guide:

Length Minimum Gauge

• Less than 10 feet 18 – 20 Gauge
• 10 to 100 feet 16 to 18 Gauge
• Over 100 feet 14 Gauge

LIMITED FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY

If mounting surface modification is required, OWI assumes no responsibility or liability for such modification.
