Wall mount placement:

The Wall Mount is also the charger for N-Joy Controller. Find the most strategic place – with regards to the range to the Bluetooth receiver – to locate the wall mount. There are 3 ways to connect the wall mount to a power outlet:

1. Built-in: With the included adapter and USB/Micro-USB cable (300 cm):
   Make sure a 5/8” electrical conduit pipe is built into the wall, ending on one side on the spot where you wish to place the wall mount, and on the other side near a power outlet. The length of this 5/8” tube should not exceed 250 cm. Lead the power cable through this tube, with the Micro-USB side on the end of the wall mount. Insert the included adapter in the power outlet and connect the USB cable to it. Connect the Micro-USB to the back of the wall mount. Make sure the surface where you will place the wall mount is clean and dry. Remove the cover layer of the tape strip on the back of the wall mount. Place the wall mount and press it to the wall for 5 seconds. The wall mount is placed and ready for use.

• Check if the wall mount functions in charging the controller before you place it on the wall, the wall mount cannot be easily removed once attached. 2. Built-on: With the included adapter and USB/Micro-USB cable (300 cm) :
  The USB cable will remain visible with this method. Connect the Micro-USB to the back of the wall mount. Insert the included adapter in the power outlet and connect the USB cable to it. Make sure the surface where you will place the wall mount is clean and dry. Remove the cover layer of the tape strip on the back of the wall mount. Place the wall mount and press is to the wall for 5 seconds. The wall mount is placed and ready for use.
• Check if the wall mount functions in charging the controller before you place it on the wall, the wall mount cannot be easily removed once attached. 3. With the optional built-in set:
  This requires the optional EMC-sit. This product may be installed in zone 3 only. Refer to the drawing to the right to determine suitable locations.
  Build the conduit box into the wall at the spot you wish to place the wall mount. Pull two electrical wires (230V) through the conduit pipe and leave around 10 cm visible in the conduit box. Connect the build-in adapter and place it in the conduit box. Insert the Micro-USB in the back of the wall mount. Place the wall mount exactly over the conduit box. Make sure the surface where you will place the wall mount is clean and dry. Remove the cover layer of the tape strip on the back of the wall mount. Place* the wall mount and press it to the wall for 5 seconds. The tape will ensure a waterproof closure for the conduit box. The wall mount is placed and ready for use.
  Final result:
  The final result is a wall mount/charger that is ready to be used.
• First check if the wall mount functions in charging the controller before you place it on the wall, the wall mount cannot be easily removed once attached.
