To mount the speakers on the wall

Caution:

Be very careful to prevent the speaker [2.1kg (4.6 lbs.)] from falling when mounting on the wall.

Before mounting, check the wall strength. (Do not put on the veneer plaster or whitewashed wall. The speakers may fall.) If unsure, consult a qualified service technician.

Mounting screws are not supplied. Use appropriate ones.

Check all mounting screws for looseness and that they are engaged in the speakers.

Mount the speakers on the wall using 2 screws each for horizontal position and using 1 screw each for vertical position.

Select a good location. If not, accidents may occur or the speaker may get damaged.

Avoid placing on a bed, sofa, water tank, sink and hallway wall. To avoid accidents, fix the speaker wires to the wall. You may trip over them.

SHARP is not responsible for accidents resulting from improper installation.
