OWNER’S MANUAL

SAFETY FIRST

When installing your Di 5.5BPS Loudspeakers, be aware of the weight 
of your particular 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 Definitive Technology
dealer, or a building contractor.
