MO NT READER TO THE WALL
A: Place the Mounting Guide on the spot on a wall you are considering mounting the
reader. When you find a spot you like, peel the clear sticker off & place it on the wall
where you want to mount your reader. The Measuring Tape might come in handy at this
step. This location needs to be close enough to an electrical outlet for the AC Power
Adaptor cord to plug in and also close to a Network Port so the Network Cable can be
plugged in to access a wired network or for troubleshooting your reader.
SUGGESTI N: Keep in mind the variety of heights amongst your employees. A slightly
lower versus higher position will probably work be for everyone.
B: With the Mounting Guide sticker on the wall, use the Stylus to punch a hole at each of
the X spots. This might require a hammer or drill, depending on the composition of your
wall. Then insert the Anchors into the holes made with the stylus.
C: Place the Reader Mounting Bracket against the wall, line up its holes with those in
your wall, and insert the long screws. Tighten securely.
D: Attach the Reader Back Plate to the Mounting Bracket with 4 of
the small black screws. Align slots on the back of the reader to the
top 2 tabs (1 & 2) of the Reader Back Plate & slide the reader on to
it. Secure the reader to the Reader Back Plate at the bottom of the
reader by inserting the remaining small black screw.
Next, proceed to NETWORK SET P.
