Speaker Wall Jack  (400-0985)      Installation       Faxback Doc. # 14004

CHOOSING A LOCATION

Choose a location for the wall plate where:

    Either wiring exists, or you can easily run wire through the
    partition(s)/ wall (s) to the location.
  
    The location does not interfere with electrical wiring or framing
    members behind the wall.

INSTALLATION


1.  Draw an outline on the wall in pencil measuring 1-3/4 x 4 inches (4.4
    x 10.2 cm).

2.  Drill a 3/s-inch (1 cm) hole in two corners of the outline.


3.  Using a saber saw or keyhole saw, make four cuts as shown along the 
    outline.


4.  Run wiring from the source (amplifier/receiver, etc.) through the
    partition(s) and bring it out through the cut opening.
  
    Installation Hint: Use color-coded speaker wire to help you identify
    the polarity (+ and - sides).


5.  Carefully remove about 1/2 inch (.5 cm) of insulation from the ends of
    the wire.  Twist the ends and solder the wire to the terminals on the
    back of the wall plate. Be careful to match the polarity (use + for
    the hot side).


6.  Assemble the two mounting brackets (formed and flat strips), mount
    them in the opening, and twist them to fit the opening as shown.
    Tighten the four screws between the brackets.


7.  Install the wall plate and secure it to the brackets using the
    supplied screws.


8.  Prepare speaker hookup wires by removing 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) of
    insulation from the ends. Twist the ends so there are no stray
    strands.


9.  Install the wires in the wall plate by pressing a rectangular button
    on the plate, inserting the wire, and releasing the button.
  
Caution:  Be sure your amplifier/receiver is turned off when you connect
          the wires.

Important:  Be sure to connect the speakers to the jacks so their
            polarities match (+ with +, and - with -). If you are not sure
            you have connected the speakers in phase (proper polarity),
            take one of the cables and reverse the + and - connections. If
            the low notes sound muffled, reverse the connections.
