INSTALLING THE SOUNDBAR

INSTALLING THE WALL MOUNT

+ Installation Precautions

● Install on a vertical wall only.

● For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.

● Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a different wall that can support the unit's weight.

● Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.

● Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.

- Diameter: M5

- Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.

● Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.

● Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.

3. Push a pen tip or sharpened pencil tip through the centre of the B-TYPE images on each end of the Guide to mark the holes for the supporting screws, and then remove the Wall Mount Guide.

4. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in the wall at each marking.

● If the markings do not correspond to the positions of studs, make sure you insert appropriate anchors or

mollies into the holes before you insert the support screws. If you use anchors or mollies, make sure the holes you drill are large enough for the anchors or mollies you use.

INSTALLATION

5. Push a screw (not supplied) through each Holder-Screw, and then screw each screw firmly into a support

screw hole.

6. Use the two Screws (M4 x L12) to attach both Bracket-Wall Mount L and R to the Soundbar's bottom. For a

proper fit, make sure to align the bumps on the Soundbar to the holes on the brackets.

DETACHING THE SOUNDBAR FROM THE WALL

1. To separate the Soundbar from the wall mount, push it in the direction of the arrow, and then pull it away from the

wall as shown.

● Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.

● Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an injury or

damage the product.

● When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the connecting

cables, as this may cause it to fall.

● For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least

5 cm below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.

● For your safety, if you do not mount the unit on the wall, install it on a secure, flat surface where it is unlikely

to fall.

+ More About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a short wireless connection.

● A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:

- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Soundbar.

- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.

- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.

● Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.

● The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

● In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
