When I got my new iPhone, the app was completely empty. I need to take it off the wall. The Internet wire is coming out from the bottom. What is the actual motion to take it off the wall? How is it keyed for the screws. Do I lift up and turn do I pull down and turn a picture of the back would be very useful

To remove the Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC PRO from the wall, insert a paperclip into the security slot to release the lock tab. Then turn the mounting cover counter-clockwise to unlock it from the device.
