Reattach grille
1. If you removed the grille for painting, insert the scrim cloth into the grille and align the tabs on the edge of the
grille with the slots in the baffl e.
2. Gently press the grille back into place on the speaker, using even pressure around the edge. Don’t press in the
center of the grille.
3. Bend the retainer tabs toward the center of the speaker to secure the grille in place.
Install speaker in cutout
Note: The spring clip spacers are set at the factory for a ceiling thickness of 5/8 inch (1.6 cm). For a 1/2 inch (1.3 cm)
ceiling, turn the spacers over so the thicker side faces the ceiling. Remove the spacers from the clips for a 3/4 inch
(1.9 cm) ceiling, or when using rough-in brackets.
Note: Make sure the mounting ring is placed fl ange down around the back of the speaker.
1. If you are using a seismic restraint, pass it through the mounting ring and attach it with a screw to one of the
bosses opposite the spring clips. Flip the spring clips so they point straight up.
2. Place the mounting ring so it rests on the wires of the spring clips.
3. Make sure there is no obstruction around the edge of the cutout to keep the spring clips from fl ipping down to
hold the speaker in place.
4. Center the back of the speaker in the cutout and push it straight in until the spring clips fl ip down and the
speaker is secure.
Note: Push only on the frame, not on the grille.
