        four (4) metal wood screws attaching the enclosure to the inside of the studs. 

3. Cabling Rough-In and Mounting Brackets

    Install appropriate cables from each location leaving enough overage on each end to allow easy installation and mark all cable ends with necessary  
    information. Each cable run should comply with all codes. Good wiring practices should be followed at all times. 
    Secure the Mounting Brackets to the back of the enclosure using the included six (6) bracket mounting screws. If access to the USB ports on the TV  
    power supply is needed, remove the large knock-out above or below mounting brackets. 

4. Duplex Receptacle Knock-Out (sold separately)

●  Remove receptacle knock-out in bottom of the panel.

●  Run proper wires (according to code) to the receptacle box.
●  Install UL and/or ETL approved receptacle rated 125 VAC.
●  Install receptacle cover.
●  Ensure that all work is done by a licensed electrical contractor.

5. Install Trim Ring 

To complete the installation, when the TV will not be installed against the wall, place the trim ring onto the Connected Media Box aligning the grooves  
on the sides with the slots on the box. Use the included four (4) screws to screw it into place. Use caution not to over tighten the screws, doing so may  
cause deformation of the trim ring. 
 
If the TV will be mounted directly against the wall, do not install the trim ring.
