a hollow surface or to a Valcom backbox. Using the
dimensions shown in Figure 2 as a guide, cut a hole

mounting holes in the surface to align with the four
mounting holes in the grille. Using appropriate
anchors and screws (not included), mount the
VIP-412-DF to the surface. Alternatively, Valcom
backbox model VB-R19 is available for mounting
this model.
