3.6. How to install the mounting kit
Panel mounting should be used in situations where only the front bezel of the
VIPRO VP7910 will be visible. In order to complete a panel mounting, the
wall must have a designated space (cutout) for embedding the VIPRO VP7910.
Step 1
Step 1Step 1
Step 1
Prepare and cutout a designated space on the wall for embedding the VIPRO
7910. A recommended cutout dimension is shown below.
