Bose 151 Owner's guide - Page 8

Accessories Bose Model SM-1 outdoor surface-mount brackets give sturdy support to 151® speakers attached to a shelf, wall, ceiling, roof overhang, or boat. You can mount the brackets horizontally or vertically, and change the angle to direct the sound. Bose FM-1 outdoor flush-mount brackets securely anchor 151 speakers to the bulkhead of a boat. These brackets install through the bulkhead surface, so only the speaker face and bracket trim are exposed. To order these brackets, or for more information about them, contact your authorized Bose retailer, or to contact Bose directly, see "Bose Corporation" on page 63. How to maintain Bose® 151 speakers Protect the connections The bare wire ends of the speaker cord can be affected by exposure to the elements. This is especially true of salt water exposure. You may use a silicone caulking material, such as RTV adhesive, to protect the connections. It is commonly available at hardware stores. If you do use caulking, apply it only after the wires are connected and the knobs tightened down. Check the caulking annually, and re-apply as needed. How to clean the speakers Use a cloth dampened in mild detergent and water to remove dust or dirt from the outside of your 151 speakers. Or use a hose to rinse them thoroughly with fresh water. Do not use enough pressure to force water behind the grille and into the driver or the acoustic port. 8
