Mounting the Residential Gateway on a Wall

1Using a drill with a 3/16-inch bit, drill two holes at the same height and 4 inches apart.

Note: The preceding graphic illustrates the location of the mounting holes on the back of the residential gateway.

2Are you mounting the residential gateway into a drywall or concrete surface where a wooden stud is available?

If yes, go to step 3.

If no, drive the anchor bolts into the wall, and install the mounting screws into the anchor bolts; leave a gap of about 1/4-inch between the screw head and the wall. Then, go to step 4.

3Install the mounting screws into the wall; leave a gap of about 1/4-inch between the screw head and the wall. Then, go to step 4.

4Verify that no cables or wires are connected to the residential gateway.

5Lift the residential gateway into position. Slip the large end of both mounting slots (located in the back of the residential gateway) over the mounting screws, and then slide the residential gateway down until the narrow end of the keyhole slot contacts the screw shaft.

Important: Verify that the mounting screws securely support the residential gateway before you release the unit.
