4. Position to keep the unit at least six inches away from the listener’s ears to avoid
potential hearing damage.
5. Do not use near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, rain or similar environments.
6. Place where it will not be inadvertently covered or moved. A permanent wall
mounting is recommended after you have found a suitable location.
Wall Mounting
Wall mounting is the preferred mounting method for the Informer-IP. Before mounting,
determine a suitable location considering the criteria listed above. The Informer-IP has
eight holes, two sets of four, located on the back of the unit that accepts #8 screws.
Mounting location determines which set of four holes are used. Exterior wiring can enter
the Informer-IP through any of the unit’s five knockouts: two on the back, one on the
bottom, and one located on each side of the unit. Place the mounting screws horizontally
level, approximately 6 inches above eye level and 4 inches apart on center. Ensure the
screws are placed into material that can adequately support the weight of the Informer-IP.
Use #8 wall anchors when mounting to drywall. Ensure that the screws are tightened
sufficiently to securely fasten the Informer-IP against the wall.

Connect the Informer-IP to the LAN using CAT5 cable. If the Wired Ethernet has PoE,
no other power connection is required. [Early versions of the Informer-IP require a PoE
Adapter (2005704A) and additional cable (1751407A) to supply correct PoE wiring.]
