WARNING
CAUTION
When Installing the Unit
• Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment
where it may be splashed by water or other liquids,
as doing so may result in re or electric shock.
• Since the unit is designed for indoor use, do not
install it outdoors. If installed outdoors, the aging of
parts causes the unit to fall off, resulting in personal
injury. Also, when it gets wet with rain, there is a
danger of electric shock.
• (Applicable to VX-3308WM and VX-030DA only )
Use the unit only with the voltage specied on
the unit. Using a voltage higher than that which is
specied may result in re or electric shock.
• (Applicable to VX-3308WM only)
Do not cut, kink, otherwise damage nor modify
the power supply cord. In addition, avoid using the
power cord in close proximity to heaters, and never
place heavy objects -- including the unit itself -- on
the power cord, as doing so may result in re or
electric shock.
• (Applicable to RM-200SF, RM-300X, RM-320F, and
RM-210F only)
Avoid installing or mounting the unit in unstable
locations, such as on a rickety table or a slanted
surface. Doing so may result in the unit falling
down and causing personal injury and/or property
damage.
• (Applicable to RM-200SF, RM-300X, RM-320F, and
RM-210F only)
Install the unit only in a location that can structurally
support the weight of the unit and the mounting
bracket. Doing otherwise may result in the unit
falling down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
When the Unit is in Use
• 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 re or electric shock.
· If you detect smoke or a strange smell coming
from the unit
· If water or any metallic object gets into the unit
· If the unit falls, or the unit case breaks
• To prevent a re or electric shock, never open nor
remove the unit case as there are high voltage
components inside the unit.
(Applicable to RM-200SF and RM- only)
Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
• Do not place cups, bowls, or other containers of
liquid or metallic objects on top of the unit. If they
accidentally spill into the unit, this may cause a re
or electric shock.
WARNING

4
• Do not insert nor drop metallic objects or ammable
materials in the ventilation slots of the unit’s cover,
as this may result in re or electric shock.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use the supplied
one. Using any other fuse than supplied may cause
re or electric shock.
VX-030DA: Blade 20 A
VX-3308WM: AC T8A H, AC T6.3A L, and Blade 30 A
• Be sure to switch off the amplier’s power when
replacing the fuse.
Inserting or removing the fuse with the amplier’s
power on may cause personal injury.
• Handle or use the batteries properly.
Doing otherwise may cause leakage or explosion
of the batteries, resulting in a re, personal injury,
damage to peripheral equipment, or contamination
of environment.
When Installing the Unit
• Do not block the ventilation slots in the unit’s cover.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the
unit and result in re. Also, periodically clean the
ventilation slots of dust.
• Avoid installing the unit in humid or dusty locations,
in locations exposed to the direct sunlight, near the
heaters, or in locations generating sooty smoke
or steam as doing otherwise may result in re or
electric shock.
• Note correct polarity (positive and negative
orientation) when connecting the power supply
cord. Reversed polarity connections will cause
damage to the unit.
• To avoid electric shocks, be sure to switch off the
VX-3308WM’s power when connecting the unit.
• When connecting multiple appliances to a single
power socket through a multi-outlet power strip, a
total current consumption of the appliances must
not exceed the allowable current capacity of the
power socket.
Failure to observe this instruction may result in a
re or electric shock.
When the Unit is in Use
• Do not operate the unit for an extended period of
time with the sound distorting. Doing so may cause
the connected speakers to heat, resulting in a re.
• Use the specied AC adapter for the unit. Note that
the use of other adapter may cause a re.
• Contact your TOA dealer as to the cleaning. If dust is
allowed to accumulate in the unit over a long period
of time, a re or damage to the unit may result.
• Make sure to observe the following handling
precautions so that a re or personal injury does
not result from leakage or explosion of the battery.
· Do not short, disassemble, heat nor put the battery
into a re.
· Avoid using both new and old batteries together.
· Never charge batteries of the type which are not
rechargeable.
· Do not solder a battery directly.
· Be sure to use the specied type of batteries.
· Note correct polarity (positive and negative
orientation) when connecting a battery to the unit.
· Avoid locations exposed to the direct sunlight,
high temperature and high humidity when storing
batteries.
• (Applicable to RM-200SF, RM-300X, RM-320F, and
RM-210F only)
Have the unit checked periodically by the shop from
where it was purchased. Failure to do so may result
in corrosion or damage to the unit or its mounting
bracket that could cause the unit to fall, possibly
causing personal injury.

3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TOA VX-3308WM Wall-Mount Voice Evacuation System is designed for both general and emergency
purpose broadcasts.
It is comprised of the Voice Evacuation Frame, Digital Power Amplier modules, Power Supply unit, Emergency
Power Supply, and a user-specied number of Remote Microphones.
The system complies with the EN 54-4 and EN 54-16 Standard and its failure detection circuitry operates
continuously to check components and speaker lines for any irregularities. If detected, failure warnings are
provided by way of an LED indicator and a buzzer.
The VX-3308 system allows 4 types of broadcasts to be made: General-purpose broadcast such as general paging
and BGM, Emergency warning broadcast that can be broadcast with priority over the Emergency broadcast,
Emergency broadcast that the emergency messages are to be broadcast by an automatic announcement
device or remote microphone, All-zone emergency broadcast that is to be made available even during system
malfunctions or failures. Two patterns of the Emergency broadcast can be activated simultaneously.
The dedicated software is used to perform all necessary settings related to the entire system operation and
functions including system congurations, input-to-output signal routing, function assignment to the operation
keys, operation of the control terminals, and selection of the failure detection points.
4. SYSTEM FEATURES
• VX-3308 system is a voice evacuation system.
• Decentralized conguration is possible via network.
• VX-3308 system is constructed up to 256 zones as system.
• Speaker Selector function is implemented, then VX-3308 system is able to cover many zones.
• A general broadcast for a sound quality regulating function is possible to digitalize all sound.
• A general broadcasting is possible by latitude setting of control input/output and priorities.
