Speaker Assembly.

5. Feed an Ethernet cable through the hole and connect it to
the Main port of the Speaker Assembly.
6. If necessary, lift and rotate the Clamp Brackets so they
remain elevated and tucked against the Speaker Assembly.
Insert the Speaker Assembly into the hole.

(length: 430 mm) to a secure structural point using its clasp
(inside diameter: 14 mm). Do NOT attach the Safety Wire to
a T-bar in the ceiling grid.
Note: It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that
