Placement and Maintenance

Signal is designed for indoor use on level floors. Clean steel parts
and wood veneer with a moist cloth. Many wood surfaces are

subject to fading under direct sunlight. BDI’s unique Graphite finish
has properties that make it more sensitive than others. Please avoid
placing BDI’s Graphite finish in direct sunlight.

Fine tuning your new BDI Signal Home Theater Furniture

These steps are to be followed after you have unpackaged and completed the simple assembly instructions for
your Signal AV stand. Due to jostling in freight or perhaps an uneven floor, the doors on your Signal stand may
not appear to be in perfect alignment. Making a few minor adjustments can rectify this situation. Be aware that
depending on your situation, patience and a bit of trial and error are required. The high-quality European hinge
hardware is infinitely adjustable, but changing one element can cause the need for further adjustments. Through a
little adjustment, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors to make sure that they are sitting perfectly on
your Signal unit.

STEP 1 - Level your Signal unit

Levelers are integrated into each leg assembly and are accessed at the bottom of each cabinet leg and are hand­adjustable. If your floor is uneven, you may extend one or more levelers to attain a level, stable cabinet placement.
Turning the leveler clockwise will extend the leveler; turning it counter-clockwise will retract it.

INCORRECT! Door is
out of alignment with
the rest of the unit.

STEP 2 - Adjust Door Hinges (if needed)

The doors on your cabinet should be evenly spaced and the doors should open and close freely without rubbing
against the door frame.

If the cabinet’s doors appear out of alignment, this condition can be corrected with minor adjustment to the
European hinges on each door.

Because these hinges are infinitely adjustable, adjusting one hinge element can sometimes cause the need for
adjustments to other elements. But with a few adjustments, you can modify the orientation of the cabinet doors

to make sure that they hang perfectly within your cabinet.

Use the Phillips Screwdriver (A) supplied to adjust Signal's
door hinges:

CORRECT! Door is
sitting squarely and
evenly spaced on tops
and sides.

• By adjusting Screw 1, the door will move LEFT or

RIGHT within the frame. Make minor adjustments
at both top and bottom hinges for best results.

• By adjusting Screw 2 the entire door will move IN or

2.

OUT, opening or closing the gap between the door
frame and cabinet. (This screw rarely needs adjustment.)
