IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

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.

  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. After unpacking the product, make sure the packaging is kept out of the reach of children. It poses a suffocation risk.
  7. Never use chemical products or abrasive detergents to clean the device. Clean with a dry cloth only.
  8. Do not obstruct ventilation openings, as this may alter the sound quality of the device.
  9. Do not install or store the device in the engine compartment or near a heat source.
  10. During storage, the device should not be exposed to temperatures below -20°C or above 80°C. The operating temperature range for the device is between -10°C and 50°C.
  11. Ensure you leave a 5cm space around the device to allow heat exchange.
  12. Never place or leave metal objects, such as coins or metal tools, in the device as they could damage the speaker.
  13. If the product emits smoke or an unusual smell, immediately turn off the power supply (turn off the ignition and remove the key) and stop using it. Contact your retailer as soon as possible.
  14. Do turn on any function likely to distract you when driving. Any actions or adjustments that require more in-depth attention must only be made when the vehicle is at a complete stop. There is a risk of accident.
  15. Do not listen to the loudspeakers at a high volume, so that you can hear external noise when driving.
  16. Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
  17. If cords or connectors are supplied, use them properly as described in the user manual without substituting them or modifying them.
  18. If the kit or connector includes a fuse, it must only be replaced by a fuse of the same rating.
  19. Do not pinch or damage the device or vehicle electric cables.
  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, exposure to rain or humidity, if the device malfunctions or overturns, etc.).
  21. After any maintenance or repair work on the device, ask the maintenance 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 the original product. Using non-compliant components could cause fires, electric shocks or other risks.
  23. If a subwoofer is installed in the vehicle, it is essential to secure it by attaching it solidly. We recommend to attach the enclosure 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 hatchback, a station wagon, a utility vehicle or a van.
  24. Some users who 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 supervised and/or accompanied when using the device.
  25. 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 85dB) for more than one hour can cause irreparable damage to your hearing.

The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (vehicle floor or chassis) depend on the conditions and standards of installation, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and applicable 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.

Important recommendations

These speaker drivers have been designed to be fitted in the factory location. Check that there is sufficient space between the speaker driver and the protective grille.

  • Keep the speaker drivers clear of any metal shavings and dust particles during the cutting process.
  • Clean thoroughly before fitting the speaker drivers.
  • Ensure that there are no objects positioned across the grille, as this could damage the speaker drivers.
  • For the electrical disconnection, use the connector. Do not pull on the wires.
  • Unclipping and reclipping the various parts must be done carefully.
  • Excessive force may damage them.

Product positioning

  • The loudspeakers in the range have been designed to deliver the most faithful sound reproduction for any style of music. Nonetheless, a few simple rules should be followed to optimise their performance and to guarantee good tonal balance and a realistic sound image. We recommend placing the speaker drivers from the kit in the dedicated OEM locations (fig. 1 and 2).

Installation

The wiring method for the speakers in the IS T3Y 100 kit depends on the configuration of your car (see tab.).FOCAL-T3Y-Series-Tesla-Car-Specific-
Audio-Speaker-04

  • V1 : No tweeter connection in the car (fig. A)
  • V2: Tweeter not activated, Tweeter connector in footwell(fig. B)
  • V3: Wired tweeter (fig. C)
  • Identify the location of your midranges, as well as your tweeters, in the case of a 2-way component kit.
  • Carefully disconnect and disassemble the original speakers.
  • Fit the Focal speakers into the vehicle’s factory locations, then connect them.

Installation details may vary depending on the model (see tab.). We recommend watching our online assembly tutorials. To improve the performance of your system and eliminate parasitic sounds, we advise you to use the “B.A.M.” acoustic insulation kit sold by Focal.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS

  • Door trims
    Once the door trim has been removed, it must not be placed on the floor. It must be placed on a raised surface to avoid damaging it or damaging the cables.

  • Dashboard
    When fitting the screw receivers, be careful not to drop the screws. This does not pose any particular risk, but it will be difficult to find them again. If you need replacement screws, these are self-tapping screws 5mm in diameter and 15mm long (M5x15).

  • Footwell
    Be careful not to touch any wiring other than that required. The crossover must be kept in the footwell only.
    When reassembling the footwell, make sure to replace the trim correctly so that it covers the seal.

Maintenance
To care for the IW T3Y 200, ICC T3Y 100, IS T3Y 100 and IC T3Y 100 speaker drivers, simply dust using a dry cloth. If the grille is marked, use a damp duster. Never use solvents, detergents, alcohol or corrosive products, scrapers or scouring utensils to clean the surface of the speaker drivers.

Running-in period
The IW T3Y 200, ICC T3Y 100, IS T3Y 100 and IC T3Y 100 speaker drivers used are complex mechanical components that require a running-in period to operate at their best. This running-in period varies depending on the conditions in question and may take several weeks. To reduce this time, operate the speaker drivers for about 20 hours at a moderate volume. Once the speaker drivers’ characteristics have fully stabilised, you will be able to enjoy the performance of your products to the full.
