2. Screw the Anchors into the holes until they are flush with the wall; screw the included Screws into the Anchors but leave the screw head sticking out so you can hang the Switch Extender on it.

2. Place Switch Extender against the wall onto the Screw heads.

Power On Device

Connect the Power Adapter to the back of the Switch, and then plug the Power Cord into the power outlet.

We strongly recommend using the Type-C external power source provided with the product. The overvoltage protection for EXT1106 is 6VDC. If you need to use your own external power source, please ensure that its power output does not exceed the rated capacity of the overvoltage protection.
