8.Remove paper template from wall.
9.Drill 3/8" holes at each mark.
10.Using a straight edge and pencil, connect the outer edges of the 4 holes for the rectangle (see Figure 10). This will give you cutting lines for the rectangle you will cut in the wall.
11.Using a keyhole saw, hack saw blade, drill, file or other suitable tool, carefully cut out the rectangular opening. Note: The corners of the rectangle may be round. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the size of the rectangle on template.

13.Using wall anchors supplied in hardware pack- age, fold wall anchor as shown in Figure 11.
14.Insert wall anchor, wings first, into hole. Tap anchor flush to wall.
15.For thin walls (1/2" or less), insert red key into wall anchor. Push red key to “pop” open anchor wings. See Figure 12. IMPORTANT: Do not hammer key! For thick walls (over 1/2" thick), do not pop open wings.
16.Position wall switch assembly vertically over wall openings with decal lettering upright (see Figure 13).
