4. Installation Guide

4.1. Device Compatibility Check

Before installation, measure the total length around your electronic device. If the total circumference is less than 37 inches, your device will fit the TotalMount Universal Mount.

4.2. Tools Required

• Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)

4.3. Mounting the Base

1. Choose a suitable location on the wall for your device. Consider proximity to power outlets and other connections.
2. Position the TotalMount base against the wall at the desired height. The mount features a built-in level to assist with accurate horizontal alignment.
3. Using a screwdriver, secure the mount to the wall with the provided screws. Ensure the mount is firmly attached.

4.4. Securing Your Device

1. Thread the two heavy-duty adjustable straps through the designated slots on the mount base.
2. Place your electronic device onto the mount. The mount's design positions the device away from the wall to promote airflow and heat management.
3. Wrap the straps around your device and through the buckles. Tighten the straps until the device is held securely against the mount. The mount includes a cross strap and large anti-slip rubber pads for enhanced security and stability.
4. If desired, any excess strap length can be cut off for a cleaner appearance.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the TotalMount Universal Mount requires minimal operation. The primary function involves adjusting the straps to fit different devices or to re-secure a device if it has been removed.

• Adjusting Straps: To adjust the straps, simply loosen the buckles, reposition your device if necessary, and then re-tighten the straps until the device is snug and stable.
• Device Removal: To remove a device, loosen the straps sufficiently to slide the device out. When replacing, follow the securing steps outlined in Section 4.4.
• Optimal Placement: For devices like Wi-Fi routers, consider mounting them in a central location and at a higher elevation to maximize signal coverage and performance. The metal-free design of the mount helps prevent interference with Wi-Fi antennas.

6. Maintenance

The TotalMount Universal Mount is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Wipe the mount and straps with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Strap Inspection: Periodically check the straps for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the buckles are functioning correctly and the straps remain securely tightened around your device.
• Mount Stability: Occasionally verify that the mount remains firmly attached to the wall. If any looseness is detected, re-tighten the mounting screws.

7. Troubleshooting

• Device does not fit: Ensure your device's total circumference is 37 inches or less. If it exceeds this, the mount is not compatible.
• Device feels loose after mounting: Double-check that the straps are threaded correctly through all slots and buckles. Tighten the straps firmly until the device is snug against the anti-slip pads. Ensure the cross strap is also properly engaged.
• Mount is not secure on the wall: Verify that the mounting screws are fully tightened into the wall. If mounting into drywall, ensure appropriate anchors (if not provided, standard drywall anchors can be used) are used for adequate support, especially for heavier devices.
• Concern about Wi-Fi interference: The TotalMount is designed to be metal-free to avoid interfering with wireless signals. If you experience signal issues, ensure your device is positioned optimally and there are no other external factors causing interference.
