Installation
Locate your desired installation location with a stud finder (recommended) and mark the drill-hole area of where the
screen is to be installed.
1. Drill a hole with the proper bit size according to the wood screws included.
2. Line up the wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Position the frame screen onto the wall brackets (F) as shown in below.
4. The design of the wall brackets allows the frame to slide over them through its sides. This is an important
feature of the installation design as it allows your screen to be properly centered.
