Chapter 2: Installation

Figure 2-4. Top Plate Removal.

4.Disconnect the Ethernet cable at the RJ-45 network connector (see Figure 2-4). You DO NOT have to remove the cable from under the wall mounting plate on the back – just disconnect it at the RJ-45 connector.

5.Lift up the top plate by pulling upwards and towards the back of the clock to remove it. Temporarily set aside. Note the alignment of the top plate during removal – especially the front and rear tabs (see figure to the right).

6.Carefully lift the front PCB up and out of its retaining slot (see Figure 2-6). This is the PCB with the coin battery on it. Just lift the PCB up enough to provide adequate clearance for the FPR mounting bracket to be inserted into its side retaining slots on the right and left sides of the main clock frame (see Figure 2-6).

7.Carefully insert the FPR mounting bracket with the FPR battery pack (see Figure 2-5). It will fit only one way as it must slip over the rectangular shaped network connector (see Figure 2-7).
