Attach the wall mounting brackets (using the included screws) so that the wall mount flange
protrudes from the bottom of the unit (see
)

Decide on a location for the Total Access 900 Series. Keep in mind that the unit needs to be
mounted at or below eye level so that the LEDs are visible.
Warning!
The Total Access 900 Series can only be wall mounted with the front panel facing to
the right, to the left, or downward (see the example in
).
Do not mount
with the LED facing up.

Prepare the mounting surface by attaching a board (typically plywood, 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick)
to a wall stud using #6 to #10 (2.5-inch or greater in length) wood screws.
Important!
Mounting to a stud ensures stability. Using sheetrock anchors may not provide
sufficient long-term stability.

Have an assistant hold the unit in position as you install two #6 to #10 (length not to exceed
board thickness) wood screws through the unit’s brackets and into the mounted board (see
