Finishing the installation
It is important to have all of your equipment ready and
within easy reach to complete this procedure.
Securing the speaker
As you lift the speaker, keep the speaker cable above
and out of the way to prevent pinching it.
You may notice a security brace, located on the upper
edge of the speaker, for use where local building codes
require it.
1. Use two hands to hold the edge of the speaker as
you guide it into the ceiling hole.
CAUTION: Be sure not to press on the two small drivers
seated on the face of the speaker.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or remove any of
the foam gasket material along the edge of the speaker.
This gasket is important to the operation of the speaker.
2. Use the small arrow on the inside flange of each
speaker to properly orient the speaker for your
installation.
Refer to “Placement guidelines” on page 4 to review
guidelines for orienting the speakers relative to one
another.
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:
You can use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten the
screws on the speaker clamps. These clamps exert
pressure inside the ceiling to hold the speaker firmly in
place.
If you choose to use a screw gun or power drill with a
Phillips-head bit:
• Select the lowest torque setting to begin.
• If the screw does not seat properly, use the next
highest torque setting to finish securing the screw.
Or use a Phillips-head screwdriver to finish this
manually.
3. Tighten one of the four clamp screws until you
can feel the frame press firmly against the ceiling.
This indicates that the clamp is extended and is
gripping the ceiling.
CAUTION: Tighten these screws firmly, but avoid using
so much pressure that the clamps compress the ceiling
material. This can cause the material to crumble, creating
an uneven surface with gaps between the speaker face
and the ceiling.
