Quick Start Guide

Mounting Procedure

The package contains screws and anchors for drywall mounting. Installation on alternate surfaces will require the purchase of the appropriate anchors and hardware.

Determine the mounting location and verify that no wires, pipes, etc., are directly behind or in the wall at the point of mounting.
Use the wall mounting bracket to act as a template to mark the anchor holes on the wall.
Drill holes into drywall and push in the supplied plastic drywall anchors. Installation on surfaces other than drywall may require different anchoring hardware which can be purchased at your local hardware store.
Align the mounting bracket with the wall anchors and attach using the supplied screws.
Slide the eFemto with mounting bracket into the wall mounting bracket.
Fasten retaining screws (Self-tapped screw,1018 harden, PA4*25, Phillips 2#, Color-Zn plating) on the side of the bracket.
When power is supplied through the POE port, the POE power source should meet the requirements of ES1 and PS2
