Connecting the speaker
As you connect the wires, be careful to match the
polarity of each wire to the proper terminal, as
described below. An error here will adversely affect
speaker performance.
1. Choose the one wire on the cable end that is marked
with a colored collar or other indicator, (which
distinguishes it as the positive (+) wire.
2. Notice the red circle on the exposed end of the
positive (+) speaker terminal.
3. Compress both ends of the terminal and fully insert
the bared tip of the positive wire into the terminal
opening.
Avoid inserting any insulated part of the wire.
4. Release pressure on the terminal to capture the wire.
5. Insert the other wire into the other terminal, marked
with a black circle on the end to indicate it is
negative (–).
CAUTION: Do not allow exposed wires to brush against
each other. This could damage your speaker or your
receiver/amplifier. Trim any excess wire and reinsert it
as necessary.
Finishing the installation
It is important to have all of your equipment ready and
within easy reach to complete this procedure.
Securing the speaker
As you lift the speaker, keep the speaker cable above
and out of the way to prevent pinching it.
You may notice a security flange, located on the upper
edge of the speaker, for use where local building codes
require it.
1. Use two hands to hold the edge of the speaker as
you guide it into the ceiling hole.
CAUTION: Be sure not to press on the two small drivers
seated on the face of the speaker.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or remove any of
the foam gasket material along the edge of the speaker.
This gasket is important to the operation of the speaker.
