Always consider the environment when disposing of batteries.  
Always follow applicable laws and regulations.  
If the remote does not operate correctly, or if the operating range is reduced,  
replace the batteries.  
Always replace both batteries with new ones. Never mix battery types or use new

Placing the unit on a wall  
The SoundStrip® requires additional mounting hardware that must be purchased separately.  
1. Place the wall mounting template on the wall and then mark the locations of the screw holes.  
2. Drill the screws (not supplied) into the wall carefully.  
3. Gently hang the SoundStrip® onto the screws in the wall.  
We recommend that wall-mounting be carried out by a professional. The stand’s  
“key-holes” are intended for use with #8 (Imperial) or M4 (Metric) pan head  
screws.  
Make sure that the wall-mounting screws are fixed securely enough so that it  
meets safety standards.  
Allow at least 2” (5 cm) separation in all directions between the SoundStrip® and  
other AV equipment (such as your TV or Set-Top Box).  
It is recommended that all cables (AC adapter and Audio cables) be connected to  
the SoundStrip® before placing it on the wall.
