WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in death or serious personal injury.

When Installing the Unit

• Install the unit only in a location that can structurally support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.
• Do not use other methods than specified to mount the bracket. Extreme force is applied to the unit and the unit could fall off, possibly resulting in personal injuries.
• Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the ceiling’s or wall’s structure and composition. Failure to do so may cause the speaker to fall, resulting in material damage and possible personal injury.
• Tighten each nut and bolt securely. Ensure that the bracket has no loose joints after installation to prevent accidents that could result in personal injury.
• Do not mount the unit in locations exposed to constant vibration. The mounting bracket can be damaged by excessive vibration, potentially causing the unit to fall, which could result in personal injury.
• (F-1000B, F-1000BT, F-1000W, and F-1000WT only) Since the unit is designed for in-door use, do not install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of parts causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a danger of electric shock.
• (F-1000BTWP and F-1000WTWP only) When installing the unit in the snowy area, take appropriate measures to prevent snow from lying on the unit. If the snow lies on the unit, the unit may fall, causing personal injuries.
• Do not use anti-rust lubricant. If it contacts resin or rubber parts, they could deteriorate and cause the unit to fall, possibly resulting in personal injury.
• Do not install the unit where it is likely to be corroded in such places as bath rooms, indoor pools, or seaside. In such locations the bracket may be vulnerable to corrosion, eventually allowing the speaker to fall resulting in personal injury.

CAUTION

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

When Installing the Unit

• (F-1000BT and F-1000WT only)
  Never set the impedance switch to the “8 Ω” position when connecting the unit to the amplifier’s high-impedance speaker line (70 V or 100 V line), as doing so may damage the unit or amplifier.
  Be sure to set the switch to the “8 Ω” position when connecting to the amplifier’s low-impedance line.

• (F-1000BT, F-1000BTWP, F-1000WT, and F1000WTWP only)
  Never set the impedance switch to the “330 Ω” position when operating the unit on 100 V line.
  Failure to follow this instruction could result in damage to the unit or amplifier.

• Avoid touching the unit’s sharp metal edge to prevent injury.

• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the amplifier’s power when connecting speakers.

When the Unit is in Use

• Do not place heavy objects on the unit as this may cause it to fall or break which may result in personal injury and/or property damage. In addition, the object itself may fall off and cause injury and/or damage.
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of time with the sound distorting. This is an indication of a malfunction, which in turn can cause heat to generate and result in a fire.
• Do not stand or sit on, nor hang down from the unit as this may cause it to fall down or drop, resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
• Have the unit checked periodically by the shop from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result in corrosion or damage to the unit or its mounting bracket that could cause the unit to fall, possibly causing personal injury.

CAUTION

• Never set the rotary switch to the “8 Ω” position when connecting the F 1000BT or F-1000WT to the amplifier’s high-impedance speaker line (70 V or 100 V line), as doing so may damage the speaker or amplifier.
  Be sure to set this switch to the “8 Ω” position when connecting to the amplifier’s low-impedance line.
  (F-1000BT and F-1000WT only)

• Never set this switch to the “330 Ω” position when operating the speaker on 100 V line.
  Failure to follow this instruction could result in damage to the speaker or amplifier.

ABOUT THE INPUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

(F-1000B, F-1000W, F-1000BT, and F-1000WT only)

The speaker system features internal input overload protection circuitry for both high and low frequencies.
If an excessive input level is fed to the unit, the protection circuitry automatically cuts off the signal to the speaker driver.
A drastic reduction in sound volume for the high or low frequency range indicates that the protection circuitry has been enabled.
In such cases, simply reduce the amplifier volume. The protection circuitry will automatically reset in approximately 10 seconds. After reset, maintain the volume at a level slightly lower than before.

Note
This protection circuitry does not completely protect the unit against input overload. Depending on the type or duration of excessive power input, the protection circuitry might not be enabled, resulting in damage to the speaker driver. Also, if the excessive power input continues for a long period of time, the circuitry may not be capable of resetting to its original condition.
Take care so that the speakers are not exposed to excessive power input.

NOTES ON OUTDOOR INSTALLATION (F-1000BTWP and F-1000WTWP only)

• Be sure to mount the speaker in a vertical (portrait-style) orientation.
