OPTION 1: Attachment into a wall stud (preferred method)
Using a stud finder, locate a stud in the wall. Place your unit against the wall, with the safety bracket aligned in
this location. To make driving the screw easier, you can drill a 1/8" diameter pilot hole (3mm) through the safety
bracket into the stud. Drive the screw through the safety bracket into the wall stud. Tighten the screw that was
not fully tightened in step 7.
OPTION 2: Attachment into drywall
Locate your unit where desired against a wall and mark the wall through the safety bracket, then move your unit
aside. Drill a 3/16" diameter hole (5mm) into the wallboard. Tap the wall anchor into the hole until it is flush.
Move your unit into location and fasten the wall bracket to the wall anchor with the screw. Tighten the screw that
was not fully tightened in step 7.
