    1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • Before installation or use, be sure to carefully read all the instructions in this section for correct and safe operation. • Be sure to follow all the precautionary instructions in this section, which contain important warnings and/or cautions regarding safety.
  • Page 5 • 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.
  • Page 6 Applicable to Central unit, Conference unit, Battery charger, and AC adapter • Never plug in nor remove the power supply plug with wet hands, as doing so may cause electric shock. • When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to grasp the power supply plug; never pull on the cord itself. Operating the unit with a damaged power supply cord may cause a fire or electric shock.

    2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The TOA TS-820 Series conference system employs its infrared wireless system unit. The Infrared chairman and Delegate units (collectively referred to as "Conference units") provide wireless communication via the Infrared transmitter/receiver unit connected to the Central unit. Since wiring to the individual Conference units is not required, they can be easily installed in freely versatile configurations.
