Getting Started
Important Safeguards - We want you to be safe!
These cabinets are electrical devices. Use care with them and follow
these important safeguards:
• Electrical devices are not toys. Children are often unaware
of the hazards associated with electrical devices, so this unit
must always be used by adults or with adult supervision.
• Do not use this unit outdoors.
• Liquids should not be stored in, set on or placed inside this
unit.
• Never unplug this product from the outlet when your hands
are wet.
• Set the power switch to the down OFF position before you
unplug the unit from the wall, plug the unit into the wall, or
plug in devices.
• Be careful with the power cord. Do not jam the power cord
against sharp edges. Do not use the unit if the cord appears
to be damaged or if the ground prong is missing. When the
unit is not plugged in, wrap the power cord and store in the
IT area.
• Do not use an extension cord with this unit.
• Inadequate repair can create significant hazards to users
and is not covered by the warranty. Repairs should always be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Electrical Testing
• Before using your new charging cabinet, have a qualified
electrician verify the current draw does not exceed the rating
of the unit when all the devices are installed.
• Test the contact integrity of the wall outlet using a receptacle
tension tester such as a Woodhead 1760 or a Safeplug 1700.
• Test the branch circuit for ground integrity and branch circuit
protection.
• Do not plug in the unit if the switch, receptacles, or power
cord have been damaged or if the ground prong is missing
from the plug. If repairs are ever needed, they should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Doors and Locks
The front doors on each cabinet feature a two-point keyed locking
system to protect your devices. To open a door, lift the bottom of the
handle and rotate it to the inside of the unit. Your unit shipped with
2 keys. Contact Anthro, 800.325.3841, for replacements.
For added security, each front door features
a padlock bracket to hold your own padlock.
When installed, your padlock restricts access
to the handle so the unit can’t be opened.

In the front User area of the cabinet
• Starting at the outside of each shelf, route one charging cord
along the top of each divider. Make sure that the cord end
that goes into the devices is at the front of the bay and that
the power end goes to the
back panel and into the IT
area.
• Leave enough slack in front
(approximately 4.5”; use
the height of the divider
as a measuring stick) so
users can plug in the device
without straining the cord.
[Image A]
• Weave the cord around the
short hook at the front of
the divider, then back and
forth through the three long
channels along the top of
the divider, including the
center channel that’s lower
than the others, and finally
through the short hook
at the back of the divider.

• Feed the rest of the cord
into the IT area. [Image D]

In the side IT area of the cabinet
• Plug in each power adapter,
then poke cable clips into
the holes in the pegboard
divider – one cable clip per
adapter should do. Coil each
cord and secure it into the
cable clip before plugging it
into the adapter. [Image E]
• A great technique for coiling
cables is to wind them
around two fingers before
securing them in the cable
clips. [Image F] Be sure to
leave enough slack in your
cord so it can plug into the
adapter.
• Plug the cord into the
adapter. [Image G]
• For devices with large power
adapters, first bundle the
cord and adapter together
to save space, then plug
in the adapter. Finally, use
cable clips to secure the
bundle to the pegboard
divider.
• Turn the power switch to
the OFF position before
plugging the cabinet into
the wall. [Image H]

STEP 1
Select the Mounting Location and Method
When choosing the right place to install your cabinet, be sure to check the location of your power source. The power
cord that comes with your cabinet is 10 ft long.
Your cabinet can be wall-mounted to wood wall studs or drywall, or bolt it to a countertop. If you’re installing to wood
wall studs, go to Step 2. If you’re installing into drywall, go to Step 3. If you're bolting to a countertop, go to
Step 4. The cabinet also comes with cushioned feet; use them if you're placing your cabinet on a flat surface. See Step 5
for installation instructions.
STEP 2
Wall-mount to Wood Wall Studs
This is a two-person step.
Determine the installation point for your cabinet.
Using a stud finder, locate the studs. While one person
holds the cabinet frame up to the wall at the desired
height, the other marks the height of the top of the
cabinet. Measure down 1-1/2" along the studs to
determine the position of the screws and mark where
the screws will go. Use a level to make sure the marks
are level.
Using a 1/8" drill bit, drill one hole in a stud about
1-1/2" deep. How do you make sure that hole is
1-1/2" deep? Measure that length on your drill bit
and mark it with a piece of masking tape. Stop drilling
when you reach the masking tape. Repeat for the
second screw.
Using a Phillips driver (or a power driver with a
Phillips bit), attach the first 1-5/8" long screw at that
mounting point, but don’t tighten all the way to the
wall. Stop tightening when the screw head is about
1/4" away from wall.
Lift the cabinet onto the wall. Mark the screw position
of the lower screws. Remove the cabinet, drill the
lower holes, and install the lower screws. Lift the
cabinet into place and tighten all four screws.
Go to Step 6.

STEP 3
Wall-mount to Drywall
Determine the installation point for your cabinet.
While one person holds the cabinet frame up to the
wall at the desired height, the other marks the height
of the top of the cabinet. Measure down 1-1/2" to
determine the position of the screws and mark where
the screws will go. Use a level to make sure the
marks are level.
Drill 1/2" diameter hole at the mounting point.
Insert a TOGGLER into one hole, metal end first.
Pull the plastic ring end so the metal channel rests
flush behind the wall. With your other hand, slide the
plastic cap along the straps until the flange of the cap
is flush with the wall.
Place your thumb between the plastic straps. Push
side to side, snapping off the straps at the wall.
Insert a 1-5/8" long screw into the TOGGLER, but don't
tighten all the way. Leave the bolt head about 1/4"
from the plastic cap.
Repeat for the second TOGGLER.
Lift the cabinet onto the wall. Mark the screw position
of the lower screws. Remove the cabinet and install
the lower TOGGLERs. Lift the cabinet into place and
tighten all four screws.
Go to Step 6.

STEP 4
Bolt-through Installation to Countertop
Pre-drill a 1/4" dia hole in your countertop or shelf.
Using a box knife, slice through the membrane covering the pre-drilled
holes on the bottom of the cabinet.
Slide the 3.5" bolt through the washer, through the bottom of the cabinet,
through the countertop, and capture with the 325-5259-00 nut.
Go to Step 6.
