WALL/CEILING CORNER-MOUNTING (VERTICAL MOUNTING ONLY)

CAUTION

The customer is responsible for proper selection and use of mounting hardware (available through hardware stores), to properly and safely wall-mount the speakers. The JBL Control NOW speaker was designed to be easily installed. However, if you are unable to clearly and fully understand and follow the instructions in this manual, or if you are unsure of your ability to properly install these loudspeakers, please contact your dealer or a qualified installer. Please do not use any power tools during installation. Power tools can exert excessive and unnecessary torque which, in turn, can damage fasteners or other parts and accessories, reducing their strength and causing possible failure of the fastener or part. A failed or damaged fastener or part may not be able to perform as designed, and may lead to an unsafe installation.

When deciding upon a location for the JBL Control NOW speaker, take care NOT to install the mounting bracket closer than 3" to a side wall. Any closer than 3" will not allow the room needed to position and slide the JBL Control NOW speaker into the mounting bracket.
