Installation Guide:

Cut the drywall: Create a square opening in the drywall with a diameter of 5.87"x5.87" (149x149mm). Ensure there is at least a 0.5-inch gap between the wall stud and the speaker cutout. The locking tabs should not be able to swivel into place if the cutout is too close to a stud.
Connect speaker wires: Connect the speaker wires to the terminals on the back of the speaker. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
Secure the speaker: Screw down the four Phillips head screws. This action will swivel the locking tabs outward to secure the unit to the rear surface of the drywall. Put in the strips of adhesive to secure the grille.
Attach the grille: Press the cover (grille) onto the speaker assembly, aligning it with the direction of the picture.

Bluetooth Connectivity (for Bluetooth version only):

Power On: Ensure the Bluetooth ceiling speaker system is properly connected to a power source, and speaker wires are correctly connected.
