Use the included labels and inserts to prepare the C2N(I)-AMP-4X100:
1. Locate the SOURCE and ROOM label inserts included with the unit (SOURCE insert has space for six labels, ROOM insert has room for four labels).
2. Apply the peel-and-stick labels in the appropriate positions on the inserts, being careful to match label positions to what is configured in the programming software. For neatest appearance, when applying a label,
cover the white guidelines on the insert. First and last labels cover one line each; labels in between cover lines on their left and right sides.
