Special precautions

Painting
Your 100 Series outdoor loudspeaker in a white finish can be painted to blend in with its environment.
For best results, clean the surfaces you want to paint with a gentle detergent to remove any traces of
grease and sand them gently with a very fine-grit sandpaper (around 300 grit).
We advise carefully removing the grille and protecting the black panel and the speaker drivers; place a
thin piece of cardboard in front of the speaker drivers and use masking tape to protect the panel. On the
back, be sure to also protect the terminals before painting to preserve a good electrical connection. Apply
several thin coats of paint, making sure not to clog the holes in the grille.
Breaking in your loudspeakers
The speaker drivers used in the Integration 100 Series loudspeakers are complex mechanical assemblies
which need a break-in period to operate at their best and to become acclimatised to the temperature and
humidity of your environment. This break-in period varies depending on the conditions in question and
may take several weeks. To reduce this time, we recommend operating your loudspeakers for about 20
consecutive hours at a moderate volume.
Once the loudspeakers' characteristics have totally stabilised you will be able to enjoy your Integration 100
Series loudspeakers' performance to the full.

Warranty terms and conditions

In the event of a problem, please contact your Focal dealer.
The warranty for France on any Focal equipment is 2 years, non-transferable in the event of resale, from
the date of purchase. In the event of faulty equipment, you must send it in its original packaging and at
your own expense to the dealer, who will analyse the equipment and determine the nature of the fault. If
it is under warranty, the equipment will be returned to you or replaced 'carriage paid'. Otherwise, you will
be offered a quotation for repair.
The warranty does not cover damage resulting from inappropriate use or incorrect connection (burnt out
voice-coils, for example).
Outside France, Focal equipment is covered by a warranty for which the terms and conditions are
determined locally by the official Focal distributor for each country, in accordance with the laws in force
in the region in question.
