• TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
• This apparatus shall always be connected to a AC outlet with a protective grounding connection.
• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, the plug must be pulled out from the mains socket, therefore the mains plug shall be readily operable.

Wiring the Main Power Supply Plug (UK Only)

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is indicated on the pin face of the plug and if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BS1362 of the same rating must be used. Never use the plug with the fuse cover removed. If the cover is detachable and a replacement is required, it must be of the same colour as the fuse fitted in the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer. If the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or the cable is not long enough to reach a power point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance. However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug. Do not connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord. Never attempt to insert bare wires directly into a mains socket. A plug and fuse must be used at all times.

PRECAUTIONS

Ensure that the AC power supply in your house complies with the power requirements listed on the identification sticker located on the back of your product. Install your product horizontally, on a suitable base (furniture), with enough space around it for ventilation 7~10 cm. Make sure the ventilation slots are not covered. Do not place the unit on amplifiers or other equipment which may become hot. This unit is designed for continuous use. To fully turn off the unit, disconnect the AC plug from the wall outlet. Unplug the unit if you intend to leave it unused for a long period of time.

Installation Precautions

• Install on a vertical wall only.
• For the installation, avoid a location with high temperature or humidity, or a wall that cannot sustain the weight of the set.
• Check the strength of the wall. If the wall is not strong enough to support the unit, reinforce the wall or install the unit on a different wall that can support the unit’s weight.
• Purchase and use the fixing screws or anchors appropriate for the kind of wall you have (plaster board, iron board, wood, etc.). If possible, fix the support screws into wall studs.
• Purchase wall mounting screws according to the type and thickness of the wall you will mount the Soundbar on.
  • Diameter : M5
  • Length: L 35 mm or longer recommended
• Connect cables from the unit to external devices before you install it on the wall.
• Make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged before you install it. Otherwise, it may cause an electric shock.
• Place the installation guide against the wall surface.
  • The installation guide must be level.
  • Install at least 5 cm below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.
• Mark the location where the screws will go through on the wall using a pen, and then remove the installation guide.
• Fasten the wall mounts and screws to the marked locations.
• The left and right mounts are different shapes.
• Secure the two holder screws to the screw holes on the back of the Soundbar’s main body, one on the left and one on the right.
• Insert the USB cable into the back of the Soundbar before installing it on the wall.

DETACHING THE WALL MOUNT

• Pull the Soundbar upwards as shown in the figure to separate it from the wall mount.
• Do not hang onto the installed unit and avoid striking or dropping the unit.
• Secure the unit firmly to the wall so that it does not fall off. If the unit falls off, it may cause an injury or damage the product.
• When the unit is installed on a wall, please make sure that children do not pull any of the connecting cables, as it may cause it to fall.
• For the optimal performance of a wall mount installation, install the speaker system at least 5 cm below the TV, if the TV is mounted on the wall.
• For your safety, if you do not mount the unit on the wall, install it on a secure, flat surface where it is unlikely to fall.

INSTALLING THE BRACKET WITHOUT REFERRING TO THE WALL-MOUNT INSTALLATION GUIDE

• Place the “Wall Mount L” on the desired wall surface while paralleled to the floor as shown above, and fix a screw through the hole on its right end.
• Place the “Wall Mount R” on the desired wall surface while paralleled to the floor as shown above, and fix a screw through the hole on its left end.
• If Wall Mount L/R are to be mounted beneath the TV, check their fixing hole positions in steps 1 and 2, so that they are aligned appropriately to the center of the TV’s bottom.
• Fix screws through the rest of holes
