NOTES:
●This product is NOT recommended for brick, plaster, or wallpa-
pered walls.
●If wall has been painted, allow paint to cure at least 30 days be-
fore installing cable tunnels.
●Wipe away any dirt, dust, grease, etc. on the surface and let dry
completely before installing.
●The tunnels 25 can be painted to match your wall.
●The tunnels 25 can be cut to fit the length required.
To Remove Adhesive Clips
1. Insert a flat object (e.g. - knife blade) behind the clip and the adhe-
sive pad and pry o the plastic clip.
2. Peel o the adhesive pad with your fingers.
3. If adhesive residue remains, use a cloth soaked in an organic
solvent to wipe away the residue.

Arrange your wires on either
side of the clips.Reattach
the tunnels 25 to the clips
23 and clip 24 making
sure to capture the wires
behind them. Press firmly
along the length of the
tunnels where the clips are
located until clips snap in
place.
NOTE: Leave enough slack in the
cables/wires above the tunnel to
prevent them from interfering with
or rubbing against the tunnel when
moving the TV. This could cause the
tunnel to separate from the clips.
TIP: Taping the cables/wires in
place above and below the tunnels
to hold them will make reattaching
the tunnels easier.
Carefully lift tunnel
assembly and position it
at the desired location
making sure it is level.
Press firmly for 10
seconds at each clip
location along the
length of the assembly
to secure the clips 23
and clip 24 to the
