tures all-new sure-grip mounting dogs that
provide even pressure against drywall for
long-term installation reliability, and includes
a paintable grille that blends in perfectly with
any décor.

holes allow for infrared repeaters, bringing
custom configuration to installers.
Furthermore, the R-5502-W offers unlimited
