40-1425.fm Page 1 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 8:05 AM Cat. No. 40-1425 2-Way In-Wall Speaker System PREPARING THE ,,,,, LOCATION ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, ,,,,, Your Optimus 2-Way In-Wall Speaker System features a 61/2-inch driver, adjustable wide-angle monopole tweeter, and crossover for rich lows and crisp, clean highs. It can handle 50 watts of amplifier power. You can mount your speaker almost anywhere, making it ideal for use in a surround-sound system. The speaker mounts flush with the ceiling or wall, and you can paint its frame and grille to match the room’s decor. It is a tasteful addition to any room. You need these items to mount your speaker: Be sure the mounting surface is between 1/2 and 11/4 inches thick, and that there is at least 5 inches of clearance behind the mounting surface. Also, be sure no wall studs or other objects will block the back of the speaker and no AC wiring is near. Follow these steps to prepare the mounting location. 1. Remove the cardboard mask from inside the supplied template and keep it for later use as a paint mask. 2. Use the template to mark the position for the mounting hole at the selected location. 3. Cut the mounting hole with a drywall or keyhole saw. PAINTING THE FRAME AND GRILLE • Drywall or keyhole saw • Wire stripper • Phillips screwdriver • Pencil • 18- to 20-gauge wire If you choose to paint the frame and grille, remove the grille by carefully inserting a small screwdriver between the top part of the frame and grille then carefully pulling up on the grille. Then place the cardboard mask over the driver and tweeter before painting. Note: You can find wire and wire strippers at your local RadioShack store. © 1997 Tandy Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Note: We recommend spray painting the grille to prevent blocking the grille holes with paint. 4. Connect the wire to the terminals on the back of the speaker by pressing the red terminal’s tab, inserting one end of the marked conductor, then releasing the tab. After the paint dries, remove the paint mask. Replace the grille after mounting the speaker. CONNECTING THE SPEAKER WIRE We recommend you use wire that is color-coded or marked on one side. Repeat this procedure to connect the unmarked conductor to the black terminal. Follow these steps to connect the speaker to your receiver/amplifier. 5. Using the wire’s color-coding or marking as a guide, connect the conductor that is connected to the speaker’s red (+) terminal to your amplifier/receiver’s positive (+) terminal. Then connect the negative (–) conductor to your receiver/ amplifier’s negative (–) terminal. 1. Route the speaker wire from your receiver/amplifier to the speaker. Notes: • Avoid routing the speaker wire near electrical wire. • Do not nail or speaker wire. staple 2. Separate about 4 inches speaker wire at each end. the of MOUNTING THE SPEAKER 3. Using a wire stripper, remove about 1/4 inch of insulation from both ends of each conductor, then twist the strands of each conductor. Note: Before mounting the speaker, connect and test it. 1. Remove the grille, if you have not already (see “Painting the Frame and Grille”). 2 40-1425.fm Page 3 Wednesday, August 11, 1999 8:05 AM 2. Be sure the mounting tabs are in place (parallel with the edge of speaker, not pointing outward), then plug the speaker into the mounting hole. • Keep the speaker dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquid can contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits. • Keep the speaker away from dust and dirt which can cause premature wear of parts. • Wipe the speaker frame occasionally with a damp cloth to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents. 3. Use the four supplied mounting screws to secure the mounting tabs to the wall or ceiling. Caution: You might permanently damage your speaker’s grille or speaker elements by cleaning them with a vacuum cleaner. Instead, use a feather duster or soft cloth. 4. If desired, tilt the tweeter toward the listening area. You can tilt the tweeter two steps up or down. Caution: When you move the tweeter, do not touch the thin, vibrating part. Hold only the outer, hard plastic portion.
