Connect the speaker cables.
≥Insert the wire fully, taking care not to insert beyond the wire insulation.
To prevent the speakers from  falling, it is recommended to attach the speakers to 
the wall or table with a fall pr evention cord (hereafter “cord”).
	≥Consult a qualified housing contractor concerning the appropriate procedure when attaching to a concrete wall or a surface that  
may not have strong enough support. Improper attachment may result in damage to the wall or speakers.
≥ Use a cord of less than ‰2.0 mm (
5/64q), which is capable of supporting over 10 k g (22.05 lbs) .
≥ Keep the screws out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.
≥ Make sure that the slack of the cord is minimal.
