Installation and Operation, cont’d

Under-desk mounting

Mount the unit under a desk or podium using the optional

Extron MBU 149 kit (part #70-222-01) as follows:

1.	Remove rubber feet if these have been installed on the
	bottom of the unit.
2.	Using the provided #8 screws, attach the mounting
	brackets to the distribution amplifier (four screws on each
	side, as shown below in figure 2).

3.	Hold the unit, with the brackets attached, against the
	underside of the table or other furniture. Mark the location
	of the holes in the bracket on the mounting surface.
4.	Drill four pilot holes, each 3/32" (2 mm) in diameter by
	1/4" deep (6.3 mm) deep, into the mounting surface at the
	marked screw locations.
5.	Insert #8 wood screws into the four pilot holes. Tighten
	each screw into the mounting surface until just less than
	1/4" (6.3 mm) of the screw head protrudes.
6.	Guide the slots in the mounting brackets over the
	protruding screw heads.
7.	Slide the unit forward or backward by 3/8" (4.7 mm) so
	that the brackets are supported by the screws. Tighten all
	four screws to secure the unit in place.
