To release the AP from the mount cradle, first remove the security screw that secures the MR36 AP to the cradle's bottom tab. While holding the MR36 AP with

Desk or Shelf Mount
The access point can both be placed on a desk or shelf resting on the non-scratch rubber feet. The mount cradle is not necessary for a desk or shelf installation.

Physical Security

Depending on your mounting environment, you may want to secure the AP to its mount location. The access point can both be secured in several ways. If the
AP has been installed using the mount cradle, it should be secured via security screw (Torx security screws are included) and/or Kensington lock. If the mount
cradle was not used, the AP can still be secured using a Kensington lock.
Security Screw
The accessory kit includes screws that can be used to secure the access point to the mount cradle. Engaging the security screw prevents accidental dislodging
and theft.
Kensington Lock
The access point contains a hard point that allows it to be secured to any nearby permanent structure using a standard Kensington lock. Attach a Kensington
lock cable to the access point at the hard point on the side of the device. Attach the other end of the cable to a secure location, such as a pipe or building fixture.
