Installation Precautions

• Install on a vertical wall only.

• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the

weight of the set.

• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or

install the unit on different wall that can support the unit's weight.

• Purchase and use the fixing screws or mollys appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron

board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

▪Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid any impact to the unit.

▪Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an

injury or damage the product.

▪When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the

connecting cables, as it may cause it to fall.

▪For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 5 cm

below the TV.

and then

secure it with two screws (not supplied).

If you are hanging the unit below a TV, be
