How Do I Mount the Wireless Residential Voice Gateway on a Wall? (Optional)
Your residential gateway may include mounting holes so that, if you wish, you can
mount the residential gateway to a wall. This section describes how to mount the
residential gateway to a wall, and includes a list of the equipment that you will need
along with suggestions for choosing an appropriate place to mount the residential
gateway.
Important:
If you have not already done so, insert the battery in the residential
gateway before you mount the residential gateway on a wall (if desired) or before
you install the residential gateway in your home. For assistance inserting the battery
in the residential gateway, see
Install the Battery
(on page 15).
Select an Appropriate Place to Mount the Wireless Residential Voice Gateway
You may mount the residential gateway to a wall that is made of cement, wood, or
drywall. When choosing an appropriate mounting place, refer to the following
recommendations:
Ensure that the mounting location is free of obstructions on all sides, and the
cables should be able to easily reach the residential gateway without strain.
Leave sufficient clearance between the bottom of the residential gateway and any
flooring or shelving underneath to allow access to cabling.
Allow enough slack in all cables so that the residential gateway can be removed
for any required maintenance without disconnecting the cables.
Choose a location that allows adequate ventilation around the residential
gateway.
Equipment Needed
Verify that you have the following items that you will need to mount the residential
gateway:
Two wall anchors for #8 x 1-inch screws
Two #8 x 1-inch pan head sheet metal screws
Drill with a 3/16-in. wood or masonry bit, as appropriate for the wall
composition
