Toa BS-5W, BS-10WL Instruction Manual

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Both the BS-5W and BS-10WL are splashproof wall-mounted speakers employing a splashproof 10 cm full­range speaker. Applications of these speakers include uses at outdoor locations under eaves which can avoid
direct water splash and at highly humid locations including locker rooms of shower rooms, swimming pools,
and bath rooms. Because the BS-10WL is magnetically shielded, it does not have any adverse effect on
television sets even when it is installed in close proximity to them.

3. INSTALLATION

Loosen both left and right locking knobs to remove the mounting bracket from the speaker. After fixing the
mounting bracket to the wall surface, reassemble the speaker just as it was.

Precautions

• Fix the speaker securely to the wall using anchor bolts or other devices suited to the wall construction and
materials. (The BS-5W is 1.4 kg in weight, and the BS-10WL is 1.5 kg.)

• The speakers must be mounted facing downward because the rain could flood the speaker, causing the
speakers to fail.

• Avoid mounting the speakers directly to ski lift poles or other object that give the speakers great shocks, as
doing otherwise could cause the speakers to fail.

• The speaker cannot be used in locations that always expose the unit to water splash (such as locations
close to a swimming pool) or in locations of high temperature and humidity where dew condensations could
be formed. Also, do not dash water directly over the unit.
