To wall-mount the recorder
1 Locate the left and right wall stud to which the recorder is to be mounted.
If the wall studs are behind drywall, use a stud finder to locate the wall studs, and then mark the
wall stud location.
2 Mark the right mounting screw location, using the brackets attached to the recorder as a template.
Wall-mounting: Right mounting screw location
Use the bracket to mark the location
of the mounting screw.
You can mount the recorder in one of two ways, depending on which orientation is most
convenient for your installation:
• With the rear panel at the top (facing up) and the faceplate at the bottom (facing down)
• With the faceplate at the top (facing up) and the rear panel at the bottom (facing down)
The underside of the recorder (with the feet) always faces the wall.

3 Install the right mounting screw at the marked location.
• If the right mounting location is in a wall stud, thread the screw directly into the wall stud.
• If the right mounting location is in drywall, first install a drywall anchor, and then thread the
screw into the drywall anchor.
Do not thread the mounting screw all the way in. The screw head should protrude
approximately 0.25 inches (0.64 centimeters) from the mounting surface so that you can hang
the recorder on it.
4 Lift up the recorder and hang it on the right mounting screw. Do not tighten the screws at this
time.
5 Mark the location of the left mounting hole.
6 Remove the recorder from the mounting screw and put it aside.
7 Install the left mounting screw at the marked location.
• If the left mounting location is in a wall stud, thread the screw directly into the wall stud.
