2.3 Baby Unit Installation Options
The baby unit is ready for tabletop use. Use the provided wall mount if
you want to mount it on a wall. Make sure to test the reception and the

If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall
anchors into the holes and tap gently on the ends with a hammer
until the wall anchors are ush with the wall.
