The A70 Mounting Kit Installation Notes These Installation Notes provide instructions for using the A70 mounting kit. The AP70-MNT can be used to attach an A70 Wireless Access/Grid Point (AP) to a shelf, wall, post, ceiling, or partition hanger. The included mounting cradle holds the AP firmly in place when installed, and also allows for quick release when maintenance is required.

Placing the AP into the Cradle 3 Remove the label from the front of the AP chassis. FIGURE 7 Removing the Label The label conceals a mounting hole required in a later step. The extra label shipped with the mounting kit is designed to replace this label once it is removed.
AP70-MNT: Installation Notes 4 Place the AP into the mounting cradle. FIGURE 8 Placing the A70 into the Cradle Fit the keyhole-shaped slots on the rear of the AP chassis over the cradle mounting pin and tab. Slide the AP chassis downward so that the AP slot captures the tab.

The hex-head screw requires a less commonly available tool and may increase casual security. Install the screw through the mounting hole in the front of the AP chassis (previously covered by the label) and into the cradle mounting pin. Do not overtighten. 6 Apply the new label. 7 Secure the AP, if desired.
