Important Safety and Care Instructions

• Read this owner’s manual before assembly or operation.

• Do not allow children to move the lectern.

• Proceed slowly and carefully when moving the lectern.

• For indoor use only. Do not install or store the lectern where it will be exposed

to moisture.

• Do not block the ventilation openings.

• Avoid uneven loading of the equipment into the lectern. Uneven weight

distribution could cause the lectern to tip when the lectern is moving.

• Do not allow anyone to sit, stand, or climb on the lectern.

• Use a damp, soft-cloth, or sponge, with mild soap or detergent solution to clean

dirty surfaces. Do not use harsh solvents or abrasives.

• This lectern is intended for institutional use. It does not have any user-

serviceable parts or user-maintenance requirements. If servicing is necessary,
please contact Spectrum Industries for assistance.

Warning - Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not speci cally
designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or
serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child.

Warning - Death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio
and/or video equipment furniture. A remote control or toys placed on the

furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result the

furnishing may tip over on to the child.

Electrical Safety:

• Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord.

• Inspect power cords for damage before each use. Do not use power cords

that are damaged.

• Unplug power cord from electrical outlet by gripping the cord. Do not unplug

the power cord by pulling only on the cord.

• Do not step on, drive over, drag, or place objects on the power cord.

• For added safety, plug the lectern into a grounded outlet controlled by a GFI

(Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit breaker.

• Electrical devices are not toys. Children are often unaware of the hazards

associated with electrical devices. This lectern must always be used by
adults or with adult supervision.

Optional overbridge insert panel cutouts

1. Before you begin, refer to the panel dimensions in Figure 7B for
maximum recommended cutout sizes.

2. Identify the size and position (left, centered, or right) of each cutout
needed.

3. Identify the depth of your device to verify it will not interfere with the
worksurface or any other objects under the overbridge when the
panel is attached. Figure 7C.

4. When the cutout location(s) have been determined, locate and mark the
exact cutout area(s) on the panel with a pencil. Note: Using masking

tape on cut lines will minimize laminate chipping while cutting.

5. Carefully make the cutout(s) in the panel using a jigsaw or router.

6. Set the panel into the overbridge frame opening. Note: It may be

necessary in some cases to install the electronic device into the

panel before attaching the panel to the overbridge.

7. Secure with (2) 1/4-20 x 35mm JC bolts and tighten securely.

8. Install (2) 2” grommets.

Note: Blank overbridge panels require the cus­tomer to make necessary cutouts with a jigsaw
or router. This has a moderate difculty rating,
so experience and skill with tools is required.

Note: The overbridge panel is symmetrical. Rotating or ipping the
panel 180° and re-attaching to the overbridge will allow you to place the
cutout on the opposite side of the overbridge if necessary.

Note: The Overbridge Control Console™ has been designed

for many of the currently available controllers on the market,

however, modied cutouts should be reviewed by Spectrum

to ensure clearance of brackets, keyboard slides, or other

objects under the worksurface.

Contact Spectrum to specify cutout size(s) and location(s).

Cutouts can be made in the blank insert panel by the
customer after the lectern has been purchased, but are
only recommended within the cutout area shown.

Worksurface

Figure 7C

Note: The max cutout areas shown are general
recommendations only. The nal location of the cutout(s)
on the panel will be determined by:

• The size of the cutout(s)

• Location preference of each device (left, centered, right)

• The vertical depth of the installed device

• The available worksurface opening under the

overbridge on your specic Spectrum lectern.
