3. Installing the Speaker
IMPORTANT! While it is possible to use a manual screwdriver for installation, we
strongly suggest using a power drill. To avoid damaging or breaking the clamps,
set your drill to a LOW setting. A high power setting is NOT necessary and may
cause clamps to crack or break from the added force. Such damage is NOT covered
under warranty.
1) Set your Power Drill to the Low setting.
2) Ensure the clamps on the lip of the speaker are positioned exactly as shown
in the Warning Diagrams on the top of page 9 and 10. If they are not correctly
positioned, refer to these diagrams.
3) Gently push the assembly into the ceiling or wall hole (Fig. 3c or 4d).
4) Supporting the assembly with one hand, tighten each screw (Fig. 3d or 4e).
Stop tightening when you sense resistance.
