Wall-mounting
Take the following steps to hang your FR1000Z on a wall.
1. Select a position free of obstructions on a sturdy wall.
2. Drill two holes for the screws, exactly 110 mm apart.
3. Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall
when drilling holes for the screws.
4. Do not insert the screws all the way into the wall. Leave a small gap of
about 0.5 cm between the heads of the screws and the wall.
