the hallway when ceiling mounting or horizontal when wall
mounting.

Section 1, attach the mounting plate to the ceiling as shown in
figure 4.  For wall mounting see figure 5.  Place mounting plate
on the wall.  Be sure the “UP FOR WALL MOUNTING “ text and
arrow are facing up.  Use the screws and anchors provided to
secure the mounting plate (use 3/16” drill bit for anchor holes).
