CORRECT
A. Loosen and remove the molded nut (2) by turning it
counterclockwise. Use the supplied metal bar
(5) if necessary
by inserting it
in one of the holes on the molded nut (2).
B. Pull the ball/shaft (3) out of the wall bracket (4).
C. Slide the molded nut (2) onto the ball/shaft (3) with threaded
opening facing
the ball, and thread on the metal nut (1) all the way
onto the ball/shaft (3), with the nut's (1) "knurled" surface facing
away from the ball.
D. Screw the ball/shaft (3) into the threaded 1/4"-20 insert (6) on
the
back of the speaker cabinet until it is fully seated against the
bottom of the insert. Back out the ball-shaft assembly one half
turn and tighten
the nut against the speaker. If the ball and shaft
assembly is
not backed out before tightening the nut, performing
Step G
below may dislodge the threaded insert in the speaker
housing and permanently
damage the speaker.
E. Tighten the "knurled" nut (1) using a crescent wrench until it is firmly
seated against
the back of the speaker and has fully locked the ball/
shaft
(3) and the speaker cabinet together. Please note that once
this nut is tightened, it may embed some marks on the back of the
speaker where
the attachment is made. However, these marks will
be covered by
the nut (1 ).
F. The backup cord (8) is provided as an additional measure to prevent
the fall
of the speaker in case the speaker becomes detached from
the wall bracket. One
of the two lower screws (9) that attach the
wall bracket (4) to the wall will need to go through the eyelet (11)
at the end of the cord before going through the wall-bracket hole.
Make sure
that the screw head is at least 0.36" (approximately 3/8")
or larger in diameter so that it can properly hold the backup cord
eyelet (11 ).
G. Mount the wall bracket (4) onto a wood stud on the wall, using #1 0,
minimum 1 ", panhead wood screws. Make sure that all four screws
are driven into the stud, not drywall.
If the bracket needs to be mounted on drywall, the use of properly
selected and installed wall anchors and screws is essential.
H. Holding the speaker cabinet (7) with both hands, reinsert the ball
portion
of the ball/shaft (3) into the wall bracket (4).
I. Hand-tighten the molded nut (2) while positioning the speaker for
the intended orientation.
J. Once the orientation of the speaker is finalized, use the metal bar
(5) in one of the holes on the molded nut (2) and tighten securely.
K. Securely attach the other end (1 0) of the backup cord (8) to the
Control One Outdoor by engaging it through the bar (12) on the
back speaker, as shown in the illustration.
Please note
that while the JBL Control One Outdoor is an all-weather
outdoor loudspeaker, it is not waterproof. The speakers should NOT
be
submerged or directly exposed to water, ice, snow or sustained
moisture.
