note:NOTE:

Locate and have ready to use:

• tape measure

• phillips screwdriver

• drill

• level

• safety glasses

• pencil

• stud finder

• step stool

• models WT or WTL 16xx: three wall brackets and six sheetrock

anchors with screws

• models WT or WTL18xx: four wall brackets and eight sheetrock

anchors with screws

• safety straps and screws

Instructions and fasteners are provided to help you install the whiteboard when walls have metal or wood studs. Be sure to locate wall studs and use them to drive mounting screws whenever possible.

To position the wall brackets:

1 Choose a location on the wall with convenient access to your

computer, an AC power outlet, and a projector or network connection, as appropriate.

2 Where possible, locate wall studs and select drill hole locations that

align with wall studs. Sheetrock anchors are provided in case studs cannot be used.
