SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning symbol. This symbol is designed to warn the user of the presence of important instructions mentioned in the user manual 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 instructions.
  5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
  6. After removing the product from its packaging, keep the packaging out of the reach of children. It could present a suffocation risk.
  7. Never use chemical products or abrasive detergents to clean the device. Only clean with a dry cloth.
  8. Do not install or store the amplifier in the engine compartment or near a heat source.
  9. If the product is installed in the boot of a vehicle, make sure the boot is watertight.
  10. The device should not be exposed to temperatures above 55°C.
  11. Ensure you leave a 2cm space around the device to allow heat exchange.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Do not listen to the loudspeakers at a high volume, so that you can hear external noise when driving.
  15. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
  16. If cords or connectors are supplied, use them properly as described in the user manual without substituting them or modifying them.
  17. If the kit or connector includes a fuse, it must only be replaced by a fuse of the same rating.
  18. Do not attempt to repair this device yourself. Opening the device may be dangerous. Contact a qualified professional for all work on the device.
  19. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
  20. When replacement components are needed, use only the components specified by the manufacturer or components with identical technical features to those of the original product. Using non-compliant components could cause fires, electric shocks or other risks.
  21. After any maintenance or repair work on the device, test it to check that it is working safely.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. To avoid damaging your hearing, do not listen to loudspeakers at high volumes for long periods of time. Listening to loudspeakers at an excessive volume can cause damage to the user’s ears and may lead to hearing problems (temporary or permanent deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis). Exposing your ears to a volume higher than 85dB SPL-LAeq for several hours can irreversibly damage your hearing.

The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (bracket, ground anchoring, etc.) 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.

  • The use of a Bass-reflex enclosure with the P 20 FSE, P 25 FSE and P 30 FSE subwoofers is not recommended.
