the date of purchase against all defects in materials 

and workmanship. During this period Russound will 

replace any defective parts and correct any defect in 

workmanship without charge for either parts or labor. 

For this warranty to apply, the unit must be installed 

and used according to its written instructions. If service 

is necessary, it must be performed by Russound. 

Russound assumes no responsibility for defects 

resulting from abuse or servicing performed by an 

agency or person not specifically authorized in writing

considered defects under the terms of the warranty. 

To return for repairs, the unit must be shipped to 

Russound at the owner’s expense, along with a

explaining the nature of the service required. Any 

product returned without prior written permission will 

be returned to sender. Russound sells products only 

through authorized Dealers and Distributors to ensure 

that customers obtain proper support and service. Any 

Russound product purchased from an unauthorized 

dealer or other source, including retailers, mail order 

sellers and online sellers will not be honored or serviced 

under existing Russound warranty policy. Any sale of 

products by an unauthorized source or other manner 

not authorized by Russound shall void the warranty on

Step 3 
Attach the Ethernet cable from the electrical box 

to the rear of the XTS touchscreen.  If using PoE 

power, no other wiring connection is needed.  If 

using 12VDC power, connect the 12VDC terminal 

to the rear of the XTS touchscreen as well.

Note: The XTS uses a dynamic DHCP network 

address.  A DHCP-reservation may be used on a 

compatible router when a more permanent IP 

address is required. 
Step 4 
Attach the XTS touchscreen to the mounting 

bracket by inserting the prongs of the mounting 

plate into the matching slots on the rear of the 

XTS.  Make sure that the XTS is oriented as shown 

in the diagram below. There are two captive 

mounting screws.  Use a Phillips screwdriver to 

tighten the screw at both the top and bottom of 

the XTS to secure it in place.

Installation Instructions

Step 1
Install the electrical box or P-Ring. The typical 

recommended mounting height for a wall-

mounted touchscreen is for the center of the 

electrical box/p-ring to be at 59” (150cm) from 

the floor height. This may be adjusted for user 

preference, but the 59” height is recommended 

to accommodate all users.  

Note: The electrical box/P-Ring must be a 

1-gang piece. Make sure that the box/P-ring is 

mounted level and flush to the wall surface.
Step 2
Attach the XTS mounting plate to the electrical 

box or P-ring using the supplied screws.  The 

plate should be mounted so that the two prongs 

at either end are facing into the room.  These 

prongs will be used for attaching the XTS to the 
mounting plate.
