Mount the switch on a wall
Support and Community
We recommend that you use the wall‑mount screws that are included. The screws are
0.25 in. (6.5 mm) in diameter, 0.63 in. (16 mm) in length.
1. Locate the two mounting holes on the bottom panel of the switch.
2. Mark and drill two mounting holes in the wall where you want to mount the switch.
The two mounting holes must be 2.95 in. (75 mm) apart, center‑to‑center.
3. Insert the supplied anchors into the wall and tighten the screws with a No. 2 Phillips
screwdriver.
Leave about 0.15 in. (4 mm) of each screw protruding from the wall so that you can
insert the screws into the holes on the bottom panel.
