(A common mistake is to connect the PoE cable to the router instead of the PoE switch or PoE injector.) - Page 8 Headline Clock User Guide APPENDIX – RUGGEDIZED WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Remove screws from both sides of the device and carefully separate the stainless steel baffle from the backplate slightly.
