Installing Your Sound Bar

On a Table Top

When placing the Sound Bar on an entertainment Find a flat and level surface to place your soundbar. Most people position the soundbar centered below their TV.
center, bookshelf, or any type of enclosed space, be sure to allow at least 2-3 inches of space around the Sound Bar for ventilation. If the Sound Bar is enclosed in a tight space without adequate ventilation, heat generated by the Sound Bar could produce a potential heat hazard.

How to Mount the Sound Bar to a Wall

Each installation environment is unique and has its own requirements; you may need additional material to prepare the soundbar for mounting.
You will need the following:
(the following accessories are not included)

• Wall mounting kit (2 screws, 2 drywall plugs
•  Pencil
• Level
•  Ruler
• Drill (for drywall installations only)
•  Hammer (for drywall installations only)
•  Cross-head screwdriver

Naxa Electronics recommends that wall mounting be performed by a qualified professional installer. Naxa is not liable for any accidents or damage to property or the soundbar due to incorrect installation.

1.  Using a level and ruler, use a pencil to mark 2 points on the wall that are 21.5 inches apart. Use the level to ensure that the points are on the same horizontal plane and are parallel to the ground.

2. For drywall installations only; for wood, skip stepping 3: Drill holes at the two marked points on the wall. Insert the drywall plugs into each of the holes; use a hammer to gently tap them into place. The plugs should fit completely into the hole, with the tops of the plug flush with the wall.
   (For installations in brick or concrete walls, please  obtain a masonry bit, plugs, and screws from your  local hardware store.)

3.  Use a screwdriver to drive the screws partially into the wall at the two marked points. Allow the screws to extend 0.3 inches from the wall.

4. Make sure that the screws are stable and firmly attached to the wall. Locate the mount points on the rear of the soundbar, then hook the soundbar onto the screws.

The wall that the soundbar is mounted on should be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the soundbar.

Using the Remote Control

Before using the remote for the first time, remove and discard the plastic film protector. Aim the remote control at the front of the soundbar and then press a key.

Obstacles between the unit and transmitter may prevent the remote control from working. Direct sunlight, incandescent or fluorescent lamps,  or any other strong light shining on the remote sensor of the unit may prevent the remote control from working properly.

Replacing the Battery

The remote control is powered by one (1) “CR2025” type battery.

1. Squeeze the tab of the battery compartment to the right while drawing the battery tray out.
2.  Take note of the orientation of the existing battery. Replace it with a new “CR2025” lithium battery, making sure to match the polarity of the old battery (as well as the +/- markings on the remote control.
3.  Push the tray back into place.

The battery in the remote will last for approximately 1 year. Replace the battery if the remote control does not work. Always dispose of batteries according to your local municipal regulations. Do not use the remote control for other equipment at the same time.

The battery used in the remote control may present a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, incinerate, or heat the battery (~212°F). Do not mix old with new batteries, or different types of batteries. Remove the battery from the remote if it will not be used for a long period of time.
Keep batteries away from children.
Lithium coin cells can cause serious injury or death if swallowed. SEEK MEDICAL HELP  IMMEDIATELY IF SWALLOWED.
Do not spill water on the remote control.

Connecting Power
