2. Perform an obstruction survey to be certain that there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating ducts or air returns that will
interfere with the iPort.
Note: You can mount the iPort directly next to wall studs on either side (see Step 9, below).

cavity for the iPort and its connections.

an outline on the wall.
