Attaching the Rubber Pads
The DGS-1008P comes with a strip with 4 adhesive
rubber pads to place on the bottom of the device
to prevent the switch from damaging the surface
it is placed on. To attach the rubber pads, simply
remove the rubber pads from the adhesive strip and
stick one pad on each corner on the bottom panel
of the switch.
Mounting the Switch to a Wall
The DGS-1008P can also be mounted to a wall for
more convenient placement. Follow the instructions
below for more information on how to mount the
device to different types of walls.
Hard surface wall (e.g. cement, brick)
1. Drill two holes that align with the keyholes on
the back of the switch in the wall where you
want to mount the DGS-1008P and place the
two included nylon screw anchors into the drilled
holes.
2. Drive the two screws included in this package
into the placed nylon anchors.
3. Hook the mounting keyholes on the back of the
switch onto the screws to secure the device to
the wall.
Soft surface wall (e.g. wood, drywall)
1. Drive the two screws included in this package
into the soft surface wall where you want to
mount the DGS-1008P so that they align with
the keyholes on the back of the switch.
2. Hook the mounting keyholes on the back of the
switch onto the screws to secure the device to
the wall.
