    2. Turn the unit clockwise to adjust its orientation.Placing the temporary mounting brackets on the C-ring allows you to take your hands off the unit to work.
    3. While holding the unit up, turn the four mounting screws clockwise with a Phillips screwdriver to tighten them.The first turn opens the clamp. Each turn of the screw lowers the clamp and holds the C-ring against the ceiling.If it is difficult to open the clamp, turn the screw counterclockwise half a turn to make it easier for the clamp to open.The orientation of the unit may shift when the mounting screws are turned. If the unit becomes misaligned, correct its position before fully tightening the screws.WARNING:
      • Do not overtighten the mounting screws, otherwise they or the clamp may break.
      • Do not turn any screws other than the mounting screws. Otherwise, the unit may fall or malfunction.
    4. Attaching the grille
      1. Attach the grille to the unit.Attach while lightly opening the 8 hooks on the grille outward.
      2. Secure the grille at four locations by using its mounting screws.
      3. Slide the four screw covers from the side so they fit in their positions.For removal, reverse the procedure. In that case, note the following.
        • When removing the grille, lightly open the hooks outward.
        • Loosen the four mounting screws by turning them counterclockwise. When the screw is loosened, the clamp that holds the unit against the ceiling will rise and close in.
