Installation and Mounting Instructions 

In this section we will explain how to mount both the Smart Switch and the Smart Display. 

Mounting the Smart Switch 

Included with the Smart Switch are 3 pieces of 3M Clear Velcro tape (seen below). One 
of these pieces should be used to mount the switch. 

Before applying the 3M tape, we recommend clean-
ing both surfaces you wish to use the 3M tape on 
with isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits. Wait a 
moment for this to dry 

Once both surfaces are clean, start by peeling the 
protective film off one side of the tape and placing 
this side on the switch. Once you are happy with 
this, peel the protective film off the other side of 
the 3M tape and place where desired. 

With the palm of your hand, firmly press down on the switch to ensure both the 3M 
tape is secure and the Velcro is attached.
