risk of accident.
14. Do not listen to the loudspeakers
at a high volume, so that you can hear
external noise when driving.

use them properly as described in the
user manual without substituting them or
modifying them.
The methods of installing and mounting loudspeakers to any surface (bracket, ground anchoring, etc.) depend on the
conditions and standards of installation, refurbishment, safety and cabling in force and applicable to the surfaces and/
or brackets involved. In addition, the products may vibrate and damage the brackets onto which they are mounted. For
this reason, the installation operations must be performed by a qualified professional who is familiar with installation
and safety standards. Focal does not provide any end-of-use warranty for a given bracket or installation, as installing
the loudspeakers is the customer's sole responsibility. Focal is therefore not liable in any capacity whatsoever in the event of inci-
dent, accident and/or any other result or damage of any kind related to the installation of loudspeakers.
The use of a Bass-reflex enclosure with the P 20 FSE, P 25 FSE and P 30 FSE subwoofers is not recommended.
Warning symbol. This symbol is designed to warn the user of the presence of
important instructions mentioned in the user manual and relating to the handling,
operation and maintenance of the device.
17. If the kit or connector includes a fuse,
it must only be replaced by a fuse of the
same rating.
18. Do not attempt to repair this device
yourself. Opening the device may be
dangerous. Contact a qualified profes-
sional for all work on the device.
19. 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.
20. When replacement components are
needed, use only the components speci-
fied by the manufacturer or components
with identical technical features to those
of the original product. Using non-
compliant components could cause fires,
electric shocks or other risks.
21. After any maintenance or repair work
on the device, test it to check that it is
working safely.
22. If a subwoofer is installed in the vehi-
cle, it is essential to secure it by attach-
ing it solidly. We recommend to attach
the enclosure to the floor or chassis of
the vehicle for safety. If it is not properly
secured, it could become a projectile
in the event of an accident. This is even
more important if the subwoofer is
installed in a hatchback, a station wagon,
a utility vehicle or a van.
23. Some users who are not self-suffi-
cient enough to use the product on their
own without danger. In particular, chil-
dren under 14 or people with some types
of disabilities must be supervised and/or
accompanied when using the device.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
24. To avoid damaging your hearing, do
not listen to loudspeakers at high vol-
umes for long periods of time. Listening
to loudspeakers at an excessive volume
can cause damage to the user's ears and
may lead to hearing problems (tempo-
rary or permanent deafness, buzzing in
the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis). Exposing
your ears to a volume higher than 85dB
SPL-LAeq for several hours can irrevers-
ibly damage your hearing.
