provider for help.
Wall Mounting the SBV6120
Do the following to mount the SBV6120 on the wall:
•
Locate the unit as specified by the local or national codes governing residential or business
cable TV and communications services.
•
Follow all local standards for installing a network interface unit/network interface device
(NIU/NID).
If possible, mount the unit to concrete, masonry, a wooden stud, or some other very solid wall
material. Use anchors if necessary (for example, if you must mount the unit on drywall).
CAUTION: Before drilling holes, check the structure for potential damage to water, gas, or electrical lines.
Make sure the AC power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet and all cables are removed
from the back of the SBV6120 before starting the installation.
