●● 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: 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.

++More About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to interconnect easily with each other using a
short wireless connection.
●● A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, if:
-- A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the
Soundbar.
-- It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner, or office partition.
-- It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment,
microwave ovens, and wireless LANs.
●● Pair the Soundbar with the Bluetooth device while they are close together.
●● The further the distance between the Soundbar and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is.
If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.
●● In poor reception areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.
●● The Bluetooth connection only works when it is close to the unit. The connection will be automatically cut off if the
Bluetooth device is out of range. Even within range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as
walls or doors.
●● This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
