Installing the NXD-500i Into Drywall

The NXD-500i comes with a clear plastic backbox (FIG. 6) designed to attach the panel to standard drywall.
This backbox has a locking tab on three of the four faces (missing only on the face containing the space for the
connections) to help lock the backbox to the wall.
These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall.

When installing the backbox, make absolutely sure that the assembly is in the
correct position and in the correct place.
Once the locking tabs are extended and locked into place, removing the
backbox will be very difficult without having access to the back of the wall
itself or damaging the wall.
