• Four AA-size alkaline batteries
• Transceiver module
• Four plastic anchors and retaining screws (to mount the transceiver module)
Mounting the EasyTouch Transceiver
The Transceiver is a two-way radio device with an attached antenna that communicates to and from the
EasyTouch system via the wireless hand-held wireless control panel. Mount the Transceiver module at a
