- Place your Sonos ERA 100 speaker onto the mounting plate. Ensure it sits securely and is properly aligned.

5. Operating Instructions
The Flexson Floor Stand is a passive accessory designed to optimize the placement of your Sonos ERA 100 speaker. Once assembled and the speaker is securely placed, no further operational steps are required for the stand itself.
- Optimal Listening Height: The stand positions your Sonos ERA 100 at the ideal height for seated listening, ensuring the best possible audio dispersion.
- Cable Management: Utilize the integrated cable channels to keep power and network cables tidy and out of sight, contributing to a cleaner aesthetic.
- Stability: Regularly check the stability of the stand, especially if it has been moved. Ensure the chosen feet (spikes or rubber) are appropriate for your flooring and provide a firm, level base.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and connections to ensure they remain tight. Re-tighten if necessary.
- Cable Integrity: Inspect the power cable and extension cable for any signs of wear or damage. Replace immediately if damage is found.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Stand is wobbly or unstable. | Uneven floor surface; loose connections; incorrect feet for floor type. | Ensure all screws are tightened. Adjust carpet spikes or verify rubber feet are properly installed for your floor type. Move to a level surface. |
| Cables are not neatly routed. | Improper cable placement during assembly. | Re-route cables through the designated channels in the stand pole. Ensure no kinks or excessive bends. |
| Speaker does not sit flush on the mounting plate. | Cable interference; speaker not properly aligned. | Check that the speaker's power cable and any other connections are not obstructing the speaker from sitting flat. Realign the speaker carefully. |
