INSTALLATION NOTE: MOUNTING TABS
For each attachment screw, first turn one
half-turn counterclockwise to release the
mounting tab from its guide.

Step 6: Connect an Auxiliary

Support Line (Figure 18)
Note the support ring on the back of the
speaker. The ring allows for connection to a
independent and secure anchor point.
Construction codes often require the use of
this secondary support point.

Step 7: Adjust Tap Selector

(Figure 19)
The tap selector switch is located on the
front baff le. Adjust the speaker to the appro-
priate tap setting before installing the grille.
In some 70V/100V constant voltage installa-
tions it is advisable to leave the grilles off if
final speaker audio level balance adjust-
ments are to be made later. After the levels
are adjusted the grilles can then be installed.

INSTALLATION NOTE:
GRILLE SAFETY FEATURE
EVID grilles features a unique safety tether
to prevent the grille from falling if the grille
is removed or comes loose after installation.
First, install the grille's safety tether by
pushing the grille fastener into the hole in
the front of the baff le (see Figure 20).
Second, press the grille into place until the
front of the grille is f lush with the rim of
the baff le. Make sure the grille is securely
seated to prevent it from vibrating loose.
If you need to remove the grille, the easiest
way is to insert two bent paper clips or other
pointed objects into holes in the grille, then
apply slow even pressure to pull down on the
grille until that section of the grille comes out
slightly. Continue the same procedure around
the perimeter of the grille, loosening a por-
tion at a time until the grille is removed.
