Installation
homebase Refrigerator Installation
1. Remove the protective backing from one side only of the two adhesive pads and position them on the back of the wall
mount bracket as shown.
2. Clean the homebase mounting area on the refrigerator with isopropyl alcohol; do not use a glass cleaner.
3. Place the wall mount bracket in the desired area and level the top of the bracket.
Note: Before removing the remaining protective backing from the two adhesive pads, be sure of the homebase
mounting location as the adhesive pads are not designed to be removed and repositioned once they are
applied to the refrigerator surface.
4. Remove the protective backing from the two adhesive pads, line up the top of the bracket, and firmly press and hold the
bracket in place on the refrigerator surface to ensure the pads adhere securely.
Note: 3M™ recommends waiting 24 hours for maximum adhesion prior to mounting your homebase to the mounting
bracket.
5. Connect the power adapter plug to the DC input connector at the rear of the homebase.
6. Choose the direction of the adapter wire in reference to the AC wall outlet. Place the DC wire in the corresponding wire
notch.
7. Check the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet. Spool excess wire on the four posts inside the rear cavity of
the homebase.
8. Attach the homebase to the bracket by lining up the homebase bracket mounting holes with the wall bracket mounting
tabs, and slide the homebase down until the mounting tabs engage the mounting hole slots.
9. Cover the power adapter wire with the clear, black or white wire cover; seal the cover using the double-sided tape and
dress the wire, adhering it to the refrigerator surface.
Caution: The power adapter wire routing follows the right angle contour of the refrigerator door. Do NOT cover the DC power
adapter wire using the double-sided tape after the 90 degree transition from the front refrigerator surface to the side
surface and for at least one inch rearward of the refrigerator seal. This will allow movement of the power adapter wire as
the refrigerator door opens and closes.

homebase Countertop Installation
1. Find a suitable location on the countertop adjacent to an AC wall outlet.
2. Connect the power adapter plug to the DC input connector at the rear of the homebase.
3. Choose the direction of the adapter wire in reference to the AC wall outlet. Place the DC wire in the correspond-
ing wire notch.
4. Check the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet. Spool excess wire on the four posts inside the rear
cavity of the homebase.
5. Attach each angle mount bracket to the homebase by lining up the individual angle mount bracket upper
mounting tab with the associated homebase mounting hole.
6. Push each angle mount bracket towards the top of the homebase until the upper mounting tab engages the
mounting hole slot; when the bottom of the angle bracket contacts the homebase, the tab on the bottom of the
angle bracket snaps into place.
7. Place the homebase in the desired location.

homebase Wall Mount Installation Using the Wall Mount Bracket
Note: If the wall bracket is to be mounted using the foam adhesive pads, the procedure will be the same as that
for the refrigerator mount as described on page 7.
If the wall bracket is to be mounted using screws, proceed as follows:
1. Position the mounting hole template at the desired place on the wall; level the template and mark the
position of the two upper holes.
2. Drill two holes using a 1/4" (6mm) drill bit. If a wall stud is not present, insert the plastic anchors into the holes
until flush with the wall surface .
Caution: Do not over tighten the screws; otherwise, the wall bracket could be damaged
3. Align the wall bracket with the two holes and/or wall anchors; insert two flat-head screws and secure the wall
bracket to the wall.
4. Connect the power adapter plug to the DC input connector at the rear of the homebase.
5. Choose the direction of the adapter wire in reference to the AC wall outlet. Place the DC wire in the correspond-
ing wire notch.
6. Check the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet. Spool excess wire on the four posts inside the rear
cavity of the homebase.
7. Attach the homebase to the bracket by lining up the homebase bracket mounting holes with the wall bracket
mounting tabs, and slide the homebase down until the mounting tabs engage the mounting hole slots.
8. Cover the power adapter wire with the clear, black or white wire cover; seal the cover using the double-sided
tape and dress the wire, adhering it to the wall surface.

Installation (Cont)
To remove and replace the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Lay the homebase on a flat surface with the front panel facing up.
2. Grasp the center of the front panel at the top and bottom edge and bow the panel out until it clears the left side
by the control buttons. Remove the panel to reveal the battery compartment cover.
3. With your thumb, press the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow until it disengages. Lift off the cover.
4. Carefully remove the battery.
5. Insert the battery in the compartment paying special attention to battery orientation (+ side facing up).
6. Replace the battery compartment cover by first engaging the right-hand tabs in the slots. Then press down and
slide the cover to the left to secure the cover in place.
7. Replace the front panel by engaging the right side under the protruding lip; then slightly bow the panel out and
slide the left side under the lip by the control buttons.
8. The battery backup feature should now be operational.
A type CR2032 battery is installed in a compartment behind the front
panel of the homebase. If the unit is being used for the first time, the
battery must be activated. A plastic insulator prevents contact with the
battery terminals. This insulator must be removed for the calendar/
clock backup functions to operate. To remove the insulator, simply pull
out the plastic tab extending from the right side of the unit below the
marker pen.

Operating the homebase
Preliminary Connections
Prior to initial operation, connection must be made to the power source and the tab (“REMOVE THIS TAB”) on the right
side of the unit must be removed to enable backup battery operation.
Connecting the Power. Power to the homebase is provided by the AC-to-DC wall adapter which delivers +9VDC to
the DC input connector at the rear of the unit. Refer to the installation procedures outlined previously for the methods
involved in connecting the wall adapter plug to the power input connector, and the routing and dressing of the adapter
power cable. The figure below illustrates a typical installation.
Inserting the Memory Card/USB Device. All of the memory devices attach at the left side of the homebase and can
consist of a USB Flash Memory, Compact Flash (CF) Memory Card, Multi-Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS)
Card, Secure Digital (SD) Card , or and xD Card. All of these devices are inserted in their respective receptacles with
the label side facing to the rear.
