●Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the
unit on a different wall that can support the unit's weight.
●Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board,
iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
●Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.
-Diameter: M5
-Length: 35 mm or longer recommended.
●Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.
●Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
