Installing a Plywood Base

A plywood base is recommended when installing the switch on a wall that
has wooden studs. Refer to "Plywood Base for a Wall with Wooden Studs"
on page 75. Consult a qualified building contractor for installation
instructions for the plywood base. The installation guidelines are listed
here:

You should use a stud finder to identify the middle of studs and hot
electrical wiring in the wall.
 You should attach the base to two wall studs with a minimum of
four screws.

The selected wall location for the base should provide sufficient
space from other devices or walls so that you can access the front
and back panels.
