How to use

The mechanism is designed to be installed into a standard flush-mounted electrical box. Ensure that the network cable is properly stripped and the individual wires are terminated according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard using a punch-down tool. Once the wires are secured, the module should be snapped into the corresponding frame and mounted into the wall box. Always ensure the power is disconnected if working near electrical circuits during the installation process.
