20 R QT977 7To prevent the speakers from falling, it is recommended, as an additionalprotection measure, to attach the speakers to the wall or table with a fallprevention cord (hereafter cord).Consultation with a qualified installation specialist concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or asurface that may not have strong enough support is recommended ( 12, 15). Improper attachment may result in damage tothe wall and speakers, and personal injury.Use a cord that is capable of supporting over 10 kg (22.05 lbs) (with a diameter of about 1.5 mm (1/16 )).The safety holder is to minimize the possibility of dam age and harm, but it does not guarantee this effect.Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal.Additional speaker fall prevention measuresWhen attaching the speakers to a wallCord Screw eye Wall Wall-mountedspeakers If the cord cannot be threaded through the holes, try bending the cord in 2 locations,about 10 mm (13/32 ) apart from the tip, at an angle of 45o (as illustrated above).Horizontal placementVertical placement
