MOUNTINGPROCEDURE

TheZXT‐120canbemountedtoawallorwoodenracksusingthetwo

keyholesinthebottomcase.

Note 1: The reception sensitivity varies depending on the antenna

direction.

Note 2: Before mounting to a wall, be sure to fully read the precautions.

1. Obtaintwoscrewssuitableforthewallstrengthandmaterial.

Thescrewsizeisshowninthefigurebelow.

2. ThepositionalrelationshipbetweentheZXT‐120keyholesand

thescrewmountingpositionsareshowninthefigurebelow.

Note 1: When mounting the screws to the wall, leave a space

between the wall and screw cap as shown in the figure.

3. InserttheZXT‐120keyholesontothetwoscrewsmountedto

thewall,andthenslidedownwardtosecureinplace.

4. AftersecuringtheZXT‐120tothewall,connecttheUSBPower

orbatteriesandIRemittercabletotheZXT‐120.

Note 1: Check that the ZXT-120 is firmly secured to the wall.

Note 2: Insert USB plug or batteries and IR emitter cable so that

they are firmly connected to the ZXT-120.

5. WhenremovingtheZXT‐120fromthewall,liftuptheZXT‐120,

thenpullittowardsyou.

6. Detachthemainunitfromthebatterychassisbymovetoward
