If you have a level, use it to help you correctly align the speaker. Tighten the wall clamp screws with a screwdriver. This will rotate the wall clamps and secure the speaker to the wall. Hint—on the TC265i and TC65i models, tighten the center screws before tightening the corners for the most flush fit to your wall. Do not over- tighten the wall clamp screws [figure 13].

Carefully reinstall the grille by fitting it into its recess so that it is just resting on the frame. Starting with one corner, go around the speaker and push the grille into the grille notch a little bit at a time. Be gentle; the grille may be easily bent out of shape by rough handling. You will feel a positive “snap” when it is fully in place. (Where’s the corkscrew?)

Alignez correctement le haut-parleur à l’aide d’un niveau. Resserrez les vis des crampons avec un tournevis ; cela fera tourner les crampons qui fixeront solidement votre haut-parleur au mur ou au plafond. Conseil: pour les modèles TC265i et TC65i resserrez les vis du milieu avant de resser- rer les vis des coins—le haut-parleur sera ainsi mieux affleuré. Ne serrez pas trop les vis des crampons [figure 13].

Réinstallez soigneusement la grille en la posant d’abord délicatement sur l’encoche du cadre. En commençant par un coin, poussez petit à petit la grille dans son encoche tout autour

du cadre. Soyez délicat, la grille peut être facilement déformée. Vous sentirez la grille «cliquer» en place.

SAFETY FIRST

When installing your TCi Series In-Wall Loud- speakers, be aware of the weight of your particu- lar model (see specification page for the weight of your model) and the sturdiness of the material into which you are installing the speaker. Also be aware of any concealed studs, electrical wiring or plumbing in the wall or ceiling into which you are installing the speakers. If you are not sure of

a safe way to install these speakers, consult a professional installer, your authorized Polk Audio dealer, or a building contractor.

If you plan to install your TCi Series speakers where water will directly contact them, it is advis- able to use a silicone sealant or caulk between the frame of the speaker and the wall surface. This seal should prevent water from getting behind the loudspeaker and possibly damaging the wall sur- face. Do not position the speaker where water can pool on the surface of the woofer cone or tweeter dome, as this will greatly decrease the speaker’s useful life (and everything will sound—glub!glub!—like it’s coming from under water!).

SECURITE AVANT TOUT

Lorsque vous installez des haut-parleurs de la Série TCi «In-Wall», soyez conscient de leur poids spécifique (voir la fiche technique pour le poids des différents modèles) et des tolérances de charge portante du matériau sur lequel vous installez les haut-parleurs. Assurez-vous égale- ment qu’il n’y a aucun montant, solive, fil élec- trique ou plomberie de dissimulé dans le mur

ou plafond.

Si vous avez des doutes sur la méthode d’installa- tion sécuritaire de ces haut-parleurs, consultez votre revendeur Polk, un installateur profes- sionnel ou un entrepreneur en bâtiment.

Si vous comptez installer des haut-parleurs TCi dans un endroit où ils pourraient entrer en contact avec de l’eau, il est recommandé d’utiliser un scel- lant ou mastic de silicone entre le cadre du haut- parleur et la surface du mur. Ce scellant devrait prévenir l’infiltration d'eau à l’arrière du haut- parleur (ce qui pourrait possiblement endommager la surface du mur). N’installez pas le haut-parleur dans un endroit où de l’eau pourrait s’accumuler sur la surface du woofer ou du tweeter—cela pourrait sérieusement réduire la vie utile

du haut-parleur.
