• 2 x screws that are the correct size for the rawl plugs. 2 screws have been supplied which are the correct size for the rawl plugs provided, but you will need to check that they will be sufficient for the wall surface that you will use.

You will also need to check that the screw heads fit and hold well into the wall mount points on the back of the Soundbar.

Notes:

• Make sure that the screws and rawl plugs you use are suitable for supporting the Soundbar.
• To avoid damage to the Soundbar and personal injury, you should get a qualified person to drill the fixing surface and fit the appropriate wall fixings.
• When drilling into walls, always check that there are no hidden wires or pipes etc.
• Before wall mounting your product, check the wall strength. If this is not clear, then consult relevant qualified personnel.
  Take care not to allow the Soundbar to fall whilst attempting to hook it onto the screws you have fitted to hang the product onto.

1. Unscrew the 4 screws that are in the back of the Soundbar for the wall mount brackets. Use these screws to attach the wall mount brackets supplied.
   

2. Align the Soundbar in your chosen location and use a pencil to mark the drilling positions of 406 mm (16 inches) apart.

3. Drill the holes as marked in point 2 above.

4. Push 2 rawl plugs into the holes. Insert 2 screws into the holes and tighten. Take care to leave enough space between the screw heads and the wall.
   Note: You will need to ensure that the screws heads can fit into the wall mount points on the back of your Soundbar and that they are long enough to sufficiently grip into the rawl plugs and wall. You must also leave enough space between the screw head and the wall for the screw head to fit into the mounts.

5. Hang the Soundbar onto the screws. For secure mounting ensure the screw heads slide firmly into the narrow part of the wall mount fixings on the back of the Soundbar.
