When mounting on the wall
The cable side of the interface unit should face downward.

  • Mount the holder 6 on the wall so its mark for the cable faces downward.
  • Insert the interface unit1 into holder 6 until it clicks.

Note: Tighten the upper and then the lower screws; adjust and level the holder 6 using the elongated hole for the lower screw.

When mounting on the outer side of the indoor unit

  • Insert clip 7 into the holder 6 until it clicks.
  • Insert the interface unit1 into holder 6 until it clicks.
    Note: When inserting the interface unit into the holder, align the cable of the Interface unit1 with the mark for the cable on the holder6.
    Otherwise, light leakage or degradation in appearance may result.

  • Slip clip 7 over the edge of the corner box to fix the interface unit1.
    Note: Mount interfaces unit 1 on the underside of the indoor unit if it cannot be mounted on the side of the indoor unit.

Example of mounting on the left side of an indoor unit
