To flush mount the unit:
1.The flush mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure it will fit in the location you want to flush mount the unit.
Note: Make sure the surface on which you mount the unit has at least 7" (17.75 cm) of open space behind it to fit the unit and the connected wires.
Note: Make sure to leave approximately 1/2" (13 mm) of space on the right side of the unit to access the SD card door.
NOTE: Mount a 4008/4208/5008/5208 unit 31 1/4" (80 cm), and a 4012/4212/5012/5212 unit 39 3/8" (1 m) from a magnetic compass to avoid interference.

7.Install the four mounting studs into the unit by screwing the shorter, threaded section into the back of the unit. Use the 1/16" (2 mm) Allen wrench to tighten the mounting studs until they stop. Do not overtighten - you may damage the mounting stud or the mounting holes. The studs are coated with a reusable
