Using the Wall Mount Kit You need to purchase two wall mount kits that each contain: • a mounting bracket, • three screws, and • six washer/nut sets. You need two kits so that you have two mounting brackets–one for each end of the device–and enough screws (4) and washer/nut sets (8). The mounting bracket contains an open slot between the back and bottom wedges to accommodate the connector cables. 1.
