Refrigerator Surface Installation

1. Remove the protective backing from one side only of the two adhesive foam pads; position them on the back of the

wall mount bracket as shown.

2. Clean the intended mounting area on the refrigerator with isopropyl alcohol.

NOTE: Do not use a glass cleaner.

3. Position the wall mount bracket where desired, making sure the top is level.

NOTE: Be sure of your location before removing the remaining protective backing from the adhesive pads, because they are NOT designed to be removed and repositioned once applied to the refrigerator surface.

4. Remove the protective backing from the two adhesive foam pads, line up the top of the bracket, then firmly press and hold the bracket in place to ensure that the pads adhere securely.

NOTE: 3M recommends waiting 24 hours for maximum adhesion before mounting the homebase to the wall mount bracket.

5. Connect the power adapter plug to the DC input connector at the rear of the homebase.

6. Determine how best to route the power adapter wire in reference to the AC wall outlet – to the left or right side of the homebase – and slip the DC wire into the corresponding wire notch on the back of the unit.

7. Check the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet; spool any excess wire onto the four posts inside the rear hollow of the homebase.

8. Attach the homebase to the mount bracket by lining up the homebase bracket mounting holes with the wall bracket mounting pads; slide the homebase down until the mounting tabs fully engage the mounting hole slots.

9. Cover the power adapter wire with either the clear, black or white wire cover (to match your refrigerator); seal the cover using the double-sided tape provided, and then press into place, adhering it onto the refrigerator surface.

3. Determine how best to route the power adapter wire in reference to the AC wall outlet – to the left or right side of the homebase – and slip the DC wire into the corresponding wire notch on the back of the unit.

4. Check the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet; spool any excess wire onto the four posts inside the rear hollow of the homebase.

5. Attach each angle mount bracket to the homebase by lining up the individual angle mount bracket upper mounting tab with its corresponding hole on the homebase.

6. Push each angle mount bracket towards the top of the homebase until the upper mounting tab engages the mounting hole slot; when the bottom of the angle bracket contacts the homebase, the tab on the bottom of the angle bracket snaps into place.

7. Place the homebase in the desired location.

Wall Mount Installation Using the Wall Mount Bracket

NOTE: To mount the homebase to a wall using the adhesive pads, follow the same instructions

indicated earlier in “refrigerator surface installation” – page 7.

To mount using screws, proceed as follows:

1. Position the mounting template against the wall at the desired location; level the top of the tem-

plate, and mark the position of the two upper holes onto the wall.

2. Using a 1/4” (6mm) drill bit, drill two holes where you marked the wall; if a wall stud is not present, insert the provided plastic anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall.

3. Align the wall bracket with the two drilled holes and/or wall anchors; insert the two flat-head screws provided, and secure the wall bracket to the wall.

CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screws; doing so may damage the wall bracket.

4. Connect the power adapter plug to the DC input connector at the rear of the homebase.

5. Determine how best to route the power adapter wire in reference to the AC wall outlet – to the left or right side of the homebase – and slip the DC wire into the corresponding wire notch on the back of the unit.

6. heck the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet; spool any excess wire onto the four posts inside the rear hollow of the homebase.

7. Attach the homebase to the bracket by lining up the homebase bracket mounting holes with the wall bracket mounting tabs, and slide the homebase down until the mounting tabs engage the mounting hole slots.

8. Cover the power adapter wire with either the clear, black or white wire cover; seal the cover using the double-sided tape provided, and then press into place, adhering it onto the wall surface.

Wall Mount Installation Using the Angle Mount Brackets

NOTE: It is not recommended that you use the foam adhesive pads when mounting the angle mount brackets to a wall surface; in this case, always use screws.

1. Position the mounting template against the wall at the desired location; level the top of the tem-

plate, and mark the position of the two lower holes onto the wall.

2. Using a 1/4” (6mm) drill bit, drill two holes where you marked the wall; if a wall stud is not present, insert the provided plastic anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall.

3. Align each angle mount bracket with its respective drilled hole and/or wall anchor; insert a flathead screw (two provided) through each wall bracket, and secure the bracket to the wall.

4. Connect the power adapter plug to the DC input connector at the rear of the homebase.

6. Check the amount of wire required to reach the AC outlet; spool any excess wire onto the four posts inside the rear hollow of the homebase.

7. Attach each angle mount bracket to the homebase by lining up the individual angle mount bracket upper mounting tab with its corresponding hole on the homebase.

8. Cover the power adapter wire with either the clear, black or white wire cover; seal the cover using the double-sided tape provided, and then press into place, adhering it onto the wall surface.

INSTALLATION (cont’d)

Internal Battery Activation and/or Replacement

A type CR2032 battery is installed in a compartment behind the front panel of the homebase. If the unit is being used for the first time, the battery must be activated. A plastic insulator prevents contact with the battery terminals. The insulator must be removed for the calendar/clock backup functions to operate. To remove the insulator, simply pull out the plastic tab extending from the right side of the unit below the marker pen.

To remove and replace the battery, proceed as follows:

1. Lay the homebase on a flat surface with the front panel facing up.

2. Grasp the center of the front panel at the top and bottom edge, and bow the panel out until it clears the left side by the control buttons. Remove the panel to reveal the battery compartment cover.

3. With your thumb, press the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow until it disengages. Lift off the cover.

4. Carefully remove the battery.

5. Insert the battery into the compartment, paying special attention to battery orientation (+ side facing up).

6. Replace the battery compartment cover by first engaging the right-hand tabs in the slots; then press down and slide the cover to the left to secure it into place.

7. Replace the front panel by engaging the right side under the protruding lip; then slightly bow the panel out and slide the left side under the lip by the control buttons.

8. The battery backup feature should now be operational.

OPERATING THE HOMEBASE

Preliminary Connections

Prior to initial operation, the unit must be plugged in, and the tab (“REMOVE THIS TAB”) on the right side of the unit must be removed to enable backup battery operation.

Connecting the power

Power to the homebase is provided by the AC-to-DC wall adapter, which delivers +9VDC to the DC input connector at the rear of the unit. Refer to the installation procedures outlined previously for the methods involved in connecting the wall adapter plug to the power input connector, and the routing and dressing of the adapter power cable. The figure below illustrates a typical installation.

Inserting the Memory Card/USB Device

All memory devices attach at the left side of the homebase. These can include USB Flash Memory, a Compact Flash (CF) Memory Card, a Multi-Media Card (MMC), a Memory Stick (MS) Card, a Secure Digital (SD) Card or an xD Card. All of these devices are inserted into their respective receptacles with the label side facing the rear of the homebase.
