desktop.
Wall mount To mount the SpeedTouch™ on a wall or other vertical surface:
1 Drill two holes in the wall or other vertical surface where you want to place the
SpeedTouch™. Keep a space of 143 millimetres between the two holes.
2 Fasten two screws in the wall holes. The screws should protrude five
millimetres from the surface of the wall.
3 Attach your SpeedTouch™ on the wall using the two mounting slots on the
bottom side.
If you install the SpeedTouch™ onto dry-wall, use dowels to secure the
screws. Otherwise the strain of the cables connected to the
SpeedTouch™ rear panel connectors could pull the SpeedTouch™ from
the wall.

Stand-up To setup the SpeedTouch™ in an upright position, use the
provided cradle (if available).
