If either speaker appears damaged, do not use it. Repack both speakers in the original carton and notify your authorized Bose dealer immediately.

Attaching the speaker grilles

Each speaker has both a front and a rear protective grille. The rear grille is the larger of the two. To attach these grilles to your speakers, line up the top curve of the grille so that it matches the curve of the speaker. Align the pins on the back of the grille to the mounting holes on the speaker cabinet and gently push the grille straight on.

CAUTION: Do not place objects into any opening on the speaker cabinets.
