locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet,
and away from a corner or other obstructions which may
impede air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template
for the location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount
the charger securely using drywall screws (purchased
separately) at least 1” (25.4mm) long, with a screw head
diameter of 0.28–0.35” (7–9mm), screwed into wood to an
optimal depth leaving approximately 7/32” (5.5 mm) of the
