To install a new wall box, perform steps 1 through 9 below. If a suitable wall box is already installed, perform steps 6 through 9 below. UL listed wall boxes are recommended.

1.	If a wall box is not available to use for a template, use the
	dimensions on page A-8 to create a template. If installing
	directly into furniture, cut out the center portion of your
	template.
2.	Place the wall box (or your template) against the
	installation surface, and mark the opening guidelines.
3.	Cut out the material from the marked area.
4.	Insert the wall box into the opening. The box or the wall
	plate’s rear connectors should fit easily into the opening.
	Enlarge or smooth the edges of the opening if needed.
5.	Secure the wall box with nails or screws, leaving the front
	edge flush with the outer wall or furniture surface. See
	figure 2-10.

NIf attaching the wall box to wood, use four #8 or #10 screws or 10-penny nails. A minimum of 0.5" (1.3 cm) of screw thread must penetrate the wood.

If attaching the wall box to metal studs or furniture, use four #8 or #10 self-tapping sheet metal screws or machine bolts with matching nuts.

6. Feed the twisted pair cables and, if applicable, the audio and power cables through the opening and through the wall box punch-out holes, securing them with cable clamps to provide strain relief.

NIn order to fit in the junction box, the TP cables and RJ-45 connectors should not have a boot installed.

NOne power supply can power both the transmitter and the receiver, so only one unit needs a power supply.

7.	Trim back and/or insulate exposed cable shields with heat
	shrink to reduce the chance of short circuits.
	To prevent short circuits, the outer foil shield can be cut
	back to the point where the cable exits the cable clamp.
8.	Connect the cables to the rear of the unit. See
	"Connections", later in this manual, for connector wiring
	details.
9.	Connect front panel devices (see "Connections", later in
	this manual, for connector details), restore the power
	supply, and test the transmitter/receiver system. Make
	any cabling adjustments before final installation, as the
	cables will be inaccessible afterwards.
