terminate wires.

Do you like the view from your Blink Video Doorbell? If not, adjust it using the
provided wedge set to angle your doorbell either left, right, up or down! See
gures A and Bon pages 6 and 7 for examples.
Note: You can t the wedge over your existing wiring if you would like to wire
your Blink Video Doorbell.
