(or with the supplied mounting bracket), or you can use the bracket
to mount the system on a wall.

hooks on the mounting bracket.

line connections face you. Then gently press down on the bracket to
remove it.

with heads larger than the keyhole slots on the back of the mounting
bracket.
Follow these steps to mount the system on a wall.
1. Using the keyholes in the supplied mounting bracket as a tem-
plate, mark the mounting screw locations on the wall.
2. Drill a pilot hole in the wall at each marked location.
