    • Pull the white plug out from the red outlet in the Orange circuit board in the back face of the casing.

    • Take care not to break the red outlet off the circuit board.

    • Carefully slice the glue holding the speaker wire at the top right corner of the front face with a sharp tool or a knife to separate the wire from the case.

    • The wire can be tucked into its original location without re-gluing it.

    • Remove the 2 screws (10 mm in length) located on the corners of the speaker with the Phillips #2 screwdriver.

    • There are 4 screw positions; however, our radio only had screws in two of the positions on each speaker.
