• Use appropriate tools for drilling and fastening. Wear safety glasses when drilling.
• Keep small parts (screws, anchors) out of reach of children to prevent choking hazards.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install your VELUX io-homecontrol Remote Control Wall Mount:

1. Choose a Location: Select a convenient and easily accessible location on a wall where you wish to store your remote control. Ensure there are no electrical wires or pipes behind the chosen spot.
2. Mark Drilling Points: Place the wall mount base against the wall at your desired height and use a pencil to mark the positions for the mounting screws.
3. Drill Holes: Using an appropriate drill bit for your wall type (e.g., masonry bit for concrete, wood bit for studs), drill holes at the marked positions. The depth should be sufficient for the wall anchors.

To the right of the light switch, the small, grey base of the remote control wall mount is temporarily placed against the wall, indicating where it will be installed. This step involves marking the precise drilling points for the screws.

4. Insert Wall Anchors: Gently tap the wall anchors into the drilled holes until they are flush with the wall surface.
5. Attach the Base: Align the holes in the wall mount base with the wall anchors. Insert the mounting screws through the base and into the anchors. Tighten the screws until the base is firmly secured to the wall. Do not overtighten.
