4. Attach the wall portion of the wall-mount bracket onto the wall using hardware
that is appropriate for the wall's construction and materials. We recommend first
anchoring the bracket using its keyhole, then attaching it with another anchor
through its top opening, as shown in the illustration. The satellite speakers weigh
3.3 lb (1.5kg). Be sure to use hardware that can support this weight.
NOTE: If you're running the speaker wire through the wall, you can bring it out directly
behind the bracket location and insert it through the bottom opening in the wall portion
of the bracket, as shown in the illustration. This move will keep the wire completely
hidden from view once the installation is complete.

5. If you're not running the speaker wire through the wall, insert it through the wall
portion of the wall-mount bracket as shown in the illustration.
6. Pass the speaker wire through the speaker portion of the wall-mount bracket as
shown in the illustration.

7. If you have not already removed the speaker's base, do so by pulling it straight off
the speaker, as shown in the illustration. Applying even pressure to both sides of the
base will allow it to slide off smoothly.

CAUTION: Before making speaker connections, be sure that the BDS receiver is
turned OFF and, preferably, its AC cord is unplugged from the AC outlet.
8. Connect the speaker wire to the speaker terminals as shown in the illustration:
A. Push Down on Cap
to Open Hole
IMPORTANT: Make sure the (+) and (–) bare wires do not touch each other or the other
terminal. Touching wires can cause a short circuit that can damage your receiver or
amplifier.
9. Slide the speaker portion of the wall-mount bracket onto the speaker as shown in
the illustration below. Fit the grooves on the bracket onto the rails in the speaker,
and apply even pressure on both sides of the bracket so it slides straight onto the
speaker.
Push the bracket all the way onto the speaker until it snaps into place.
Pull any slack speaker wire back through the bracket as you slide the bracket
onto the speaker.

10. Slide the speaker onto the bracket's wall section as shown in the illustration. Pull
any slack speaker wire back through the bracket's wall section.

11. Fit the metal stop plate into the recess on the bottom of the bracket with the pad
facing the bracket, and fasten it to the bracket using two of the supplied screws.
Fastening it will prevent the speaker from detaching from the bracket and will
hold the speaker's position as you rotate it on the mount.
