telephone wiring within the home.
The figure below shows your HLA3105 (a)
connecting to a broadband modem/router
(excluding cable modem/routers) for Internet
access and a television. You can connect a second
HLA3105 (b) into another coaxial outlet in your
home and connect a computer for Internet
access.

Wall Mounting
It is recommended that you do NOT wall-mount the
HLA3105. Wall-mounting kit is not included.
Complete the following steps to hang your
HLA3105 on a wall.
See Product Specifications for the size of screws to
use and how far apart to place them.
1. Select a position free of obstructions on a
sturdy wall.
2. Drill two holes for the screws.
1 Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or
cables located inside the wall when drilling
holes for the screws.
3. Do not insert the screws all the way into the
wall. Leave a small gap of about 0.5 cm
between the heads of the screws and the wall.
4. Make sure the screws are snugly fastened to
the wall. They need to hold the weight of the
HLA3105 with the connection cables.
5. Align the holes on the back of the HLA3105
with the screws on the wall. Hang the HLA3105
on the screws.
The following are dimensions of an M4 tap screw
and masonry plug used for wall mounting. All
measurements are in millimeters (mm).
