Preparing the Installation Location

1. Power down all attached devices before proceeding.

2. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance above the ceiling tile for the unit to be installed.

3. Cut a hole for the speaker. Use the provided cutout template to outline the hole to be

cut in the ceiling tile as described below.

a. Remove the ceiling tile.

b. To find the center of the tile, use a tape measure to measure the space between

two opposite corners, and mark the half-way point.

c. Position the center hole of the cutout template directly over the

center of the tile that you marked in step3b.

d. Using the provided cutout template, trace a circle around the

cutout template.

e. Cut out the circle traced in the ceiling tile.

f. Replace the tile in the ceiling.
