Mounting the Telephony Modem

You can either mount the Telephony Modem on a wall or place it on a desktop. For
wall-mount applications, you can mount the Telephony Modem with the indicators
facing upward (vertical) or to the side (horizontal).
Note: If your Telephony Modem has an 8-cell battery installed, orient the Te-
lephony Modem horizontally, with the battery side facing the floor.
Tools and Materials
For wall-mounted installations, make sure you have the following tools and mate-
rials before proceeding:
• for mounting on drywall: Two 1/4" (6mm) drywall anchors and a drill with
1/4" (6mm) bit (not included)
• for mounting on plywood or studs: two #6 x 1.5" (38.1 mm) self tapping
screws (included)
• screwdriver (flat-blade or Phillips, depending on what kind of screws you
use)
• wall-mount template (included with the Telephony Modem Quick Installation
Guide)
• transparent tape (for temporarily securing the mounting template to the
wall)
Location
Always position the Telephony Modem:
• within reach of an AC outlet. The power cord must reach the outlet without
stretching and without adding extension cords.
• near a cable outlet (to avoid long cable runs).
Note: When mounting the Telephony Modem on drywall, try to position the Te-
lephony Modem so at least one of the screws are fastened to a stud. This
may prevent the Telephony Modem from pulling out of the wall in the fu-
ture.
To prevent overheating of the Telephony Modem, do not block the ven-
tilation holes on the sides of the unit.
