Cut a hole for the CS 26T speaker — Use the provided cutout template to outline
the hole to be cut in the ceiling tile as described below.
a. Remove the ceiling tile.
b. To find the center of the tile, use a tape measure to measure the space between
two opposite corners, and mark the half-way point.

kit in a 1-inch (0.25 cm) thick fiberglass tile. The adapter works only with
1-inch (0.25 cm) thick fiberglass tile.
