This manual shows an AVTrac installation with cables being run inside a drywall cavity. If the cables from the AVTrac system will not be run inside a drywall cavity, ignore this section and go to Step 3 (Track) on the next page.

2-1If necessary, remove the baseboard from the bottom of the wall and mark where the AVTrac will abut the wall.

2-2Using a drill, box cutters and/or a saw, cut a 4" W x 1½" H (10.2 cm x 3.8 cm) hole at the base of the wall.

If there is a metal base stud, use a hand saw or tin

it back into the hole so that the stud lies flat on the floor. (Use a file to remove any jagged edges that might damage cables.)
