Items required to install the speakers as instructed

Carefully unpack the speakers. Save all packing materials, which provide the safest means to transport your speakers as needed. If any part of the speaker pair appears damaged, do not use the pair. Notify Bose or your authorized Bose® dealer immediately. For Bose contact infor- mation, refer to the address list included in the carton.

Check to be sure the carton includes all the parts shown in Figure 2.
