Placement of the M812's Wireless Speaker
and Transmitter Base
The transmitter base can be placed on a suitable level surface within
reach of an electrical outlet.
NOTE: If you plan to use the FM receiver function of the M812 you
should place the transmitter base where the supplied FM antenna can
be located for best reception.
The wireless speaker can be placed on a suitable level surface or
mounted on the wall using the supplied wall mounting bracket. When
placing the wireless speaker on a level surface it is necessary to use the
base that is preinstalled on the unit.
NOTE: Placement of this product on wood surfaces with certain types
of finishes, such as clear varnish, may result in damage to the finish.
Consult the furniture manufacturer's care instructions for direction as
to the types of objects that may safely be placed on the wood surface.
Altec Lansing shall not be responsible for any damage to wood surfaces
from contact with this product.
Caution: The wall-mounting bracket should be installed only by
qualified personnel. The mounting plate can be installed on many
different types of walls. When installed, the mounting plate must
support at least 60 lbs. The installer must be sure that the installing
surface can support the 60 lb. weight requirement. The qualified
installer must also determine and use the proper hardware to obtain
the weight requirements for the wall.
If you are mounting the M812 on the wall please follow these steps:
1. Remove the base from the bottom of the wireless speaker.
2. Determine a suitable wall location for mounting the wireless speaker
that includes an AC outlet within reach of the unit's AC cord.
. Position and level the supplied metal mounting bracket in the
desired location on the wall.
4. Being careful to avoid any items (wires, pipes, etc.) hidden inside the
wall, secure the metal mounting bracket using appropriate fasteners
for the application. If you are unsure which type of fasteners to use
or are unable to determine if there are items within the wall that
could be damaged, please consult a licensed contractor.
5. Place the speaker on the mounting bracket by aligning the two
keyholes on the rear of the speaker with the posts on the mounting
bracket. Check to make sure the wall mount bracket and speaker are
securely fixed in place.
