EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
1. Remove the plastic paint shield
from the speaker frame.
3. Note: Always allow at least
1/2 inch between a ceiling
stud/joist and the speaker
cutout, or the locking tabs
will not be able to swivel
into place.
4. Ensure that the drywall or
plywood board or other
appropriate wallboard is at
least 1/2 inch thick, and
confirm that the board material
is capable of withstanding
the weight of the
speaker you will be
installing. Cut the drywall.
5. Connect the speaker wires to the speaker. It is
recommended that the nylon cable-strain relief tab,
located next to the speaker terminals, be used to
help prevent the speaker wires
from being accidentally dislodged
(see Figure 5).
6. Make sure all four locking tabs are properly positioned
against the locking tab stops that are located on the
speaker frame (see Figure 6). After confirming this,
carefully place the frame assembly in the ceiling and
confirm that there is no more than 1/8-inch play
between the frame and the ceiling
cutout. After positioning the
speaker in the
mounting
location, back
each screw out
one full turn
(turn counterclockwise).
7. Screw down each of the four Phillips-head screws,
alternating between the four screws. The locking tabs
will swivel into place and secure the unit to the rear
surface of the ceiling. Hand-tighten with a nonpowered,
straight-handle regular screwdriver only. Do not use a
socket wrench, a powered screwdriver,
a drill or any other powered tool.
Confirm that the speaker is firmly
and securely held in place and that
all four locking tabs are firmly
resting against the ceiling.
8. Attach the metal grille and logo,
if desired.
