The 801 D4, 802 D4 and 803 D4 are very heavy and
we strongly suggest that they are unpacked in the
room in which they are to be used by two people
working together. It is also a sensible precaution to
remove jewellery to negate the risk of scratching the
speakers' surface finish.
The table above illustrates the component parts that
are packed with the 801 D4, 802 D4 and 803 D4.
In the unlikely event that anything is missing please
contact the retailer from whom you purchased
the speakers.

The heavier bass/midrange grilles attach magnetically
and are packed in a separate compartment to prevent
movement in transit.
N ote: Care must be taken when fitting or removing
the magnetically attached grilles to avoid marking
the product. The grilles will mark the speaker / stand
plinth if dropped; you can mitigate against this by
covering the plinth when fitting or removing the
grilles.
Tweeter diaphragms are very delicate and easily
damaged. In the 800 Series Diamond we include
a steel grille mesh that can protect the tweeter
from many forms of damage. However, you should
still exercise care when handling and cleaning
your loudspeakers.
Environmental Information
This product complies with international directives,
including but not limited to:
i. the Restriction of Hazardous Substances
(RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment,
ii. the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and
restriction of CHemicals (REACH)
iii. the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE).
Consult your local waste disposal authority for
guidance on how properly to recycle or dispose
of this product.
The tweeter assembly on this 800 Series Diamond
loudspeaker is a decoupled component that is
mechanically isolated from the main part of the cabinet.
As such, it may appear to be loose when the product is
first removed from its packaging. This is not a fault, it is
an inherent feature of the design and ensures optimum
performance from your speaker.
If the tweeter assembly has moved during transit and
requires adjustment, the assembly can be moved
slightly forwards and backwards to ensure that the
rear of the tweeter body is aligned with the rear of the
speaker cabinet. The tweeter assembly can also be
rotated slightly to ensure that the Bowers & Wilkins
logo is vertically orientated. Do not force the tweeter
into any position beyond the soft end-stops when
making these adjustments.
Note: Care must be taken to not damage the
decoupling assembly when making these
adjustments - please seek assistance from your
dealer if you are in any doubt about adjusting the
tweeter assembly.
