• Read this owner’s manual before assembly or operation.
• Do not allow children to move the lectern.
• Proceed slowly and carefully when moving the lectern.
• For indoor use only. Do not install or store the lectern where it will be exposed
to moisture.
• Do not block the ventilation openings.
• Avoid uneven loading of the equipment into the lectern. Uneven weight
distribution could cause the lectern to tip when the lectern is moving.
• Do not allow anyone to sit, stand, or climb on the lectern.
• Use a damp, soft-cloth, or sponge, with mild soap or detergent solution to clean
dirty surfaces. Do not use harsh solvents or abrasives.
• This lectern is intended for institutional use. It does not have any user-
serviceable parts or user-maintenance requirements. If servicing is necessary,
please contact Spectrum Industries for assistance.
Electrical Safety:
• Do not plug the power cord into an extension cord.
• Inspect power cords for damage before each use. Do not use power cords
that are damaged.
• Unplug power cord from electrical outlet by gripping the cord. Do not unplug
the power cord by pulling only on the cord.
• Do not step on, drive over, drag, or place objects on the power cord.
• For added safety, plug the lectern into a grounded outlet controlled by a GFI
(Ground Fault Interrupter) circuit breaker.
• Electrical devices are not toys. Children are often unaware of the hazards
associated with electrical devices. This lectern must always be used by
adults or with adult supervision.
Warning - Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not speci cally
designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or
serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child.
Warning - Death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio
and/or video equipment furniture. A remote control or toys placed on the
furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result the
furnishing may tip over on to the child.

Flip-up shelf - optional
Operation
The shelf will automatically lock into place when lifted into the horizontal
position with the levers released. Figure 6B. To lower or ip-up the
shelf, press and hold the levers under each folding shelf bracket at the
same time while slowly lowering or raising the shelf. Do not exceed a
maximum of 50 lb of weight on the shelf. Do not move the unit while the
shelf is in the horizontal position.
Note: Power and communication wiring for document cameras, laptop
computers, and / or projectors placed on the ip-up shelf should be
routed on top of the audience-side of the shelf. Use of the shelf grommet
hole for wiring will result in pinching of the cords when the shelf is folded.
CAUTION
Keep clear of pinch points during shelf movement.
Do not exceed 50 lb [22.68 kg] of weight on shelf.

1. To remove the overbridge insert panel, remove the (2) 1/4-20 x 35mm JC bolts with a
4mm hex wrench and lift out the panel. Figure 7A.
2. To make cutouts in the insert panel [optional]:
A. Identify all location(s) and sizes for controller(s) or electronics while making sure
all devices t within the maximum cutout space available in the overbridge panel.
See Figure 7B, 7C. See specications for cutout clearances.
B. Locate and mark the exact cutout area(s) on the panel. Note: Using masking tape
on cut lines will minimize laminate chipping while cutting.
C. Carefully make the cutout(s) in the overbridge panel using a jigsaw or router.
3. Install controller(s) / electronics into panel.
4. Re-install the overbridge panel and secure with (2) 1/4-20 x 35mm JC bolts.
Note: Blank overbridge panels require the cus-
tomer to make necessary cutouts with a jigsaw
or router. This has a moderate difculty rating,
so experience and skill with tools is required.

Figure 7B
Note: The Overbridge Control Console™has been designed for many
of the currently available controllers on the market, however, modied
cutouts should be reviewed by Spectrum to ensure clearance of
brackets, keyboard slides, or other objects under the worksurface.
Contact Spectrum to specify cutout size(s) and location(s).
