thoroughly aware of the potential safety hazards as well as
understand the safety symbols and messages.

Install t h e unit on ly in a l ocation that can structurally
support the weight of the unit and the mounting bracket.
Doing otherwise may result in t he speaker falling down
and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

Should th e following irregularity be fo und during use,
immediately stop operating the unit and contac t your
nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate
the uni t in this condition as this may cause fire or electric
shock.

If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming fro m
the unit.
If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)

Since installation requires specialized skills and
professional experience, always consult the shop fr om
where the unit was purchased before beginning
installation. If the speaker should fall, it could result in
electrical shocks or other personal injuries.

Do not ope rate the speaker f o r an extended period o f
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.

Have the speaker unit checked periodically by the shop
from where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result
in corrosion or damage t o the speaker or its mounting
bracket that could cause the speaker to fall, possibly
causing personal injury.

TOA Corporation

Do not open th e inside f o r disassembly o r modification.
Because the unit employs a special splashproof

construction, do not loosen nor remove screws.
Failure t o observe these instructions may cause the
speaker to fall, resulting in personal injuries.

Use the unit in locations where the temperature is
between -15°C and +50 °C. When installing in the
snowy area, take appropriate measures to prevent snow
from lying on the unit. If the ambient temperature
exceeds -15°C or +50 °C or if the snow lies on the unit,
the speaker may fall, causing personal injuries.

WARNING

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

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

FEATURES

Rain- and weather-proof construction that makes the speaker most ideal for outdoor applications.

2-w a y sealed speaker incorporating a woofer with high power handling capacity and a constant-directivity (CD) horn
tweeter with a high-efficient driver.
Uniform frequency response within the range of 60° horizontal x 40° vertical thanks to the CD horn.

Enclosure is made from polypropylene resin that assures high sound performance.

Designed for high efficiency, extended range and high durability as well as for easy installation, the speaker can be used

in wide applications.

USER PRECAUTIONS

The unit employs a splashproof construction. However, do not dash water over it purposely to clean, because its
speaker element and other internal components may be damaged.

Avoid installing t h e unit near the se a because its li f e is extremely shortened when used in locations affected by a briny

air.

INSTALLATION

When installing the speaker, use the optional mounting bracket for outdoor installation.
Also, take care about the following:

The bottom surface of the speaker has two air vents. Be
sure to mount the speaker with that side down, taking
care that such holes are not blocked.

As shown in the figure below, the speaker can be
positioned at any angle fr om 0 ° (horizontal) to a 45°
downward angle. Do not exceed this range, nor direct

the speaker upward.

Caution: Avoid installing the unit near the sea because its life is extremely shortened when used in locations affected by a

briny air.

Although the unit employs a splashproof construction for permanent out door
installation, the ambient operating temperature is from -15 ° C to + 5 0 °C .

When installing in the snowy area, tak e appropriate measures to prevent snow from

lying o n the unit. If the ambient temperature exceeds -15°C or +50 ° C or if the snow
lies on the unit, the speaker may fall, causing personal injuries.

CONNECTION

Polarity

When connecting the speaker cables,
observe the polarity shown at right.

Impedance Switching (Available for F-505WP and F-605WP)

The speaker input impedance can be switched in 4 steps with a built-in impedance selector (rotary switch).

See the table below.

Note: The impedance is factory-preset to position 3.

To switch the impedance, remove the rear-mounted water protection cap and set the impedance selector to the desired
impedance using a screwdriver.

Be sur e to fi t the water protection cap in place after setting the impedance.

When connecting the speaker to 100 V line, do no t place th e impedance selector in position 4 because this can be

cause failure or breakdowns of the speaker, having the bad effect on the amplifier as well.
