Safety Information
For the intended audience
This guide has been written for professional installers of
music systems or for licensed electricians.
CAUTION: Only an experienced contractor should install the
BUILT-INvisible ® home theater system from Bose. Familiarity
with standard electrical practices, as recognized by a
licensed engineer or governmental agency in your area, is
necessary. If you do not have these qualifications, do not
install the BUILT-INvisible home theater system, the system
chassis, or any other installed Bose
® products.
CAUTION: Do not mount the chassis to an uninsulated
exterior wall or in locations where condensation may occur.
CAUTION: Check local regulations before installing or wiring
the TA-2 theater amplifier. The building code may require
professional installation by a skilled technician or licensed
contractor. Regional or electrical codes may require similar
qualifications for wiring the system.
WA R N IN G: The TA-2 theater amplifier is an electrical appli -
ance. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. As with all
electrical appliances, dangerous electrical shock may result if
unqualified personnel attempt repair. Only Bose-authorized
personnel should perform service.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose this system to rain or moisture.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disas-
semble the TA-2 theater amplifier chassis. There are no user-
serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
The CAUTION marks shown here are on the bottom end of
the chassis.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, alerts the user to the presence of
uninsulated dangerous voltage within the chassis
enclosure. This voltage may be sufficient to constitute a risk
of electrical shock.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle
alerts the user to the presence of important operat-
ing instructions in this installers guide.
WARNING: To prevent electric shock do not use this plug
with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the
blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - DO NOT OPEN
TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE
COVER. NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
ADVERTISSEMENT : Nexposez pas ce système à la pluie
òu à lhumitité afin de réduire le risque dincendie ou de choc
électrique.
AVIS DE PRECAUTION : Pour réduire le risque de choc,
ne retirez pas le couvercle de ce système. Il ny a pas de
pièces pouvant être réparées par lutilisateur à lintérieur.
Veuillez vous adresser a des réparateurs agréés en cas de

gereuse non isolee à lintérieur de lébénisteries du système
qui peut être assez haute pour causer un risque de choc
électricque.
Le point dexclamation contenu dans un triangle
équilateral, tel quil apparaît sur le système, a pour
but davertir lutilisateur de la présence dinstruc-
tions importantes relatives à lutilisation et à lentretien dans
ce mode demploi.

utilizer cette fiche polarizee avec un prolongateur, une prise
de courant ou une autre sortie de courant, sauf si les lames
peuvent etre inserees a fond sans en laisser aucune partie a
decouvrir.
RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE-NE PAS OUVRIR
AFIN DE PRÉVENIR TOUT RISQUE DE CHOC ÉLECTRIQUE,
NE PAS ENLEVER LE COUVERCLE ARRIÈRE. IL NE SE
TROUVE Ã- LINTÉRIEUR AUCUNE PIÈCE POUVANT
ÊTRE RÉPARÉE PAR LUTILISATEUR. SADRESSER
Ã- UN RÉPARATEUR COMPÉTENT.
