pressing in on the opening tab at the bottom of the unit
with a small, flat bladed screwdriver. See Figure 3 below.
2. Select and remove the appropriate corner or flat wall
mounting knockouts and the cable entry knockout on the
back housing. See Figure 1 on page 1.
3. Strip the cable 2 inches (5cm) and pull it through the cable
entry knockout. Use screws and wall anchors, if
necessary, to attach the back housing to the wall. Do not
overtighten.

7. Insert each wire into the appropriate terminal and tighten
screws. Push the wires into the strain relief. See Figure 3
8. To close the unit, insert the hinge tabs at the top of the
front housing into the slots at the top of the back housing
then swivel the front housing toward the back housing to
snap the unit closed. See Figure 1 on page 1.
9. Fasten the housings together with the screw provided.
Selecting the coverage pattern
The coverage pattern for the unit can be modified to fit specific
applications by masking off mirror curtains. Curtains should be
masked to avoid sources of false alarms, such as heaters, air
conditioners, and windows.
Remove the mirror by inserting a small screwdriver between
the mirror and the side of the front housing and gently prying
the mirror out. Do not pry from the end of the housing because
the mirror may be scratched. See Figure 3 above.
