transmitter flat.
WALL MOUNT
To mount your transmitter on a wall:
-Remove the plastic bracket (included) under the transmitter unit by unlocking the 2 latches.
-Place the plastic bracket against the wall and with the aid of a pencil, mark the position of the mounting
holes.
-(Refer to figure below). Mount the transmitter in a convenient location where a power outlet is
available.
-Drill a hole on the marked position. Install the 3 mounting screws (and use anchors where necessary).
Ensure that the screws are not fully tightened so that the unit can be easily removed from the wall.
-Place the transmitter onto the wall (without the plastic bracket). Plug the 2-amp wall transformer into
any suitable AC outlet. Plug the power connector into the power jack on the top left-hand side of the
unit. Transmitter is now ready for use. Be certain to mount the transmitter away from phones, heat,
moisture and exposed power circuits. These items can damage your system and shorten transmission
range.
