Insert the supplied bracket bolt up through
the bottom of the bracket and terminal
cover, and screw it into the threaded insert
on the underside of the speaker. The bolt
should be snug, but not so tight as to
prevent the bracket from pivoting.
The wall-mounted speaker may be pivoted
from side to side; however, the bracket is
not designed to tilt up or down, and
attempting to tilt it will damage the bracket
and possibly the wall, which would not be
covered by your warranty.
