The Panic Button is designed to be mounted indoors onto a wall, or it can lay on a flat surface (such as a night stand). If mounting to a wall, use the doublesided tape strips or the screws/wall anchors (both included).

(See Removing the Top Cover from the Mounting Plate.) Set the top cover aside. 2. Select a suitable location that provides protected, easy access. Be sure to test the device before mounting. Use the bottom mounting plate as a template. Mark the two holes on the wall for the anchors and/or screws as shown.

To replace a Panic Button (with another Panic Button or any of the Remote transmitters) simply assign the new Panic Button to the specific device number. The new Panic Button will automatically replace the previous Panic Button.
