____________________________________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: Installation is to be completed by a qualified electrical technician according to NEC/CEC code and
applicable local codes.
CAUTION: The power supply is not to be used in air handling spaces.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock: Do not remove the cover or back: No user-serviceable
parts inside: refer servicing to qualified personnel.
The lighting 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions. All the safety and operation instructions should be read before this OWI
product is operated.
2. Keep these instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be kept for future reference.
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.

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 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.
11. Only use attachment/accessories specified by the manufacturers.
Portable Cart Warning
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. 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. The user should not attempt to service this OWI product
beyond those means described in this operating manual. All other servicing should be referred to the
OWI Service Department.
15. WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or
moisture.
16. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other
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 against 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 a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth
here.
18. OWI recommends that this apparatus be placed on a switched power outlet, one that switches both
sides and has contact separation of at least 3 millimeters.

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:
