∫ Preventing the speakers from falling over [HT730] [HT930]

Preparation

Attach screw eyes (not included) to secure the speakers to the wall (‹ diagram right).

≥You will need to obtain the appropriate screw eyes to match the walls or pillars to which they are going to be fastened.

≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.

1Thread the string (not included) through the slot on the rear of the speaker to prevent it from falling over.

2Loop the string through the screw eye and tie tightly.
