Connect the speaker cables.
≥Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.
≥Place the speaker that is connected with the speaker cable with a red connector on the observers’ right, and connect with
the speaker cable with a white connector on the observers’ left.
To prevent the speakers from falling, it is recommended, as an additional
protection measure, to attach the speakers to the wall or table with a fall
prevention cord (hereafter “cord”).
≥Consultation with a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a
surface that may not have strong enough support is recommended (>11, 13). Improper attachment may result in damage to
the wall and speakers, and personal injury.
≥Use a cord of less than ‰2.0 mm (5/64q), which is capable of supporting over 10 kg (22.05 lbs).
≥Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
≥Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal.
