Troubleshooting Tips

• If the speaker mount does not hold the speaker securely, ensure that the clamping base width is properly adjusted and the side clamps are tightened.
• If the tilt and turn adjustments do not hold their position, check that all adjustment screws and nuts are tightened securely.
• If the mounting plate does not attach securely to the wall, ensure that the correct wall fixings are being used and pilot holes are drilled to the appropriate size.
