3. Align the mounting bracket with the selected mounting location on the wall/tower.
4. Mark the location of the mounting holes on the wall/tower.
5. Remove the mounting bracket from the wall/tower.
6. Using a 8 mm (5/16 in) drill bit suitable for the building material, drill holes at the marked locations.
7. Insert a 8 mm (5/16 in) wall anchor into each mounting hole.
8. Attach the base station to the mounting bracket. For more information, refer to
