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.
• Use the H-3WP in locations where the temperature is between –15 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 or +50°C or if the snow lies on the unit, the unit may fall, causing personal injuries.
• Use nuts and bolts that are appropriate for the 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.
When the Unit is in Use
• Should the following irregularity be found during use, immediately switch off the power, disconnect the power
supply plug from the AC outlet and contact your nearest TOA dealer. Make no further attempt to operate the
unit in this condition as this may cause fire or electric shock.
· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming from the unit.
· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
· If it is malfunctioning (no tone sounds.)
When the Unit is in Use
• 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.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could
result in death or serious personal injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could
result in moderate or minor personal injury, and/or property damage.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
TOA's H-3 and H-3WP are wall-mounted 2-way speakers featuring wide horizontal dispersion.
The H-3 is designed for indoor use, and the H-3WP is designed for outdoor use.
Note: Protect the H-3WP from rain when installing. (Refer to p. 10 "Waterproofing the base frame.")
3. FEATURES
• Smooth curved surface blends in with the interiors of most modern buildings.
• Wide horizontal dispersion covers wide areas when mounted on the wall.
• Two 10 cm woofers feature a neodymium magnet which ensures powerful, low distortion low-frequency
sound reproduction.
• 2.5 cm soft dome tweeter also employs a neodymium magnet for clear, low distortion high-frequency sound
reproduction and high power-handling capability.
• Built-in crossover network circuitry features sharp cut-off characteristics that realize uniform energy radiation
while suppressing unwanted input signals to the woofer or tweeter.
• Two lock tabs secure the enclosure to the supplied base frame. The base frame can be mounted directly to
a 2-unit electrical box.
• A built-in matching transformer permits the speaker to be used for both high- and low-impedance
applications. For low-impedance applications, either the 8 Ω terminal or 16 Ω terminal can be selected.
Impedance can be easily changed from outside the unit.
• Detachable input connectors with dual positive and negative terminals for bridge connections.
• Enclosure is made of fire-resistant ABS resin (UL Standard 94V-0 Grade).
• Front grille is specially designed for ease of refinishing and repainting.
4. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
• To clean, wipe the unit with a dry cloth. When the unit gets very dirty, use a cloth damped in a neutral
detergent. Never use benzine, thinner or chemically-treated towel, as this could damage the unit's form or
finish.
• Avoid using the H-3WP speaker on the beach because the speaker's life can be greatly shortened by sea
breezes.
