How to Install Your Swivel Mount

1. Prepare Tools & Area: Gather your tools:
   • Drill (with appropriate bits for your wall surface).
   • Screwdrivers/Bits: A PH2 Philips head (for #6 base mounting screws) AND a PH1 Philips head (typically needed for smaller #4 screws like bracket, set screws, and doorbell attachment screws provided by us). CRITICAL: Always use the correct size Phillips head bit for the screw! Using the wrong size WILL strip the screw head easily.
   • Wall anchors (if needed for drywall/masonry).
   • Level (optional, for base).
   Ensure power to existing doorbell wiring is turned OFF at the breaker.
2. Mount the Base: Route your doorbell wires through the center hole of the swivel mount's base piece. Position the base (with screw holes vertical or horizontal as needed) and securely attach it to your wall/trim using the provided #6 x 1-1/2" screws (requires PH2 driver) or your own suitable screws/anchors. Drill Warning: Use a low speed/clutch setting and gentle pressure. Do not overtighten, as this can strip the screw head or crack the plastic base.
3. Attach Swivel Bracket: Route the wires through the center hole of the main swivel bracket. Align it onto the mounted base and attach it using the four (4) smaller center screws provided (these are typically #4 screws requiring a PH1 driver - double-check fit!). Stripping Warning: Use the correct PH1 driver and tighten snugly by hand first. Avoid overtightening with a drill.
4. Set Initial Angle: Adjust the swivel bracket to your desired approximate angle (move it up/down AND/OR left/right). Lightly tighten one or two set screws (typically small #4 screws on the underside, requiring a PH1 driver - check fit!). Do not fully tighten yet.
5. Wire Your Doorbell: Following your doorbell manufacturer's instructions, connect the wires to your doorbell. Carefully tuck any excess wiring back into the cavity within the swivel mount bracket.
6. Attach Doorbell to Mount Bracket:
   • Align your Ring Wired Doorbell Plus (or its original mounting plate, if it uses one) with the pre-drilled holes on the end of the swivel mount bracket.
   • Secure the doorbell/plate to the swivel mount bracket using the specific, shorter screws PROVIDED WITH THIS MOUNT (typically #4 screws requiring a PH1 driver - check fit).
   • DO NOT USE the longer screws that came with your doorbell manufacturer for this step, as they may be too long and damage the mount.
   • If your doorbell has a cover, replace it now.
   Stripping Warning: Use the correct size driver (likely PH1) for the provided doorbell attachment screws and tighten snugly. Avoid overtightening with a drill.
7. Finalize Angle & Secure: Make final fine adjustments to the swivel angle (both directions if needed). Once satisfied, fully tighten all set screws using the correct driver (likely PH1 - check fit!) and gentle pressure. Do not overtighten or use excessive force with a drill! Turn power back on and test.

Note: Always follow safety precautions and your specific doorbell manufacturer's instructions for wiring. Use appropriate wall anchors for your wall type. Using the correct size Philips head driver (PH1 for small #4 screws, PH2 for larger #6 screws) is crucial to avoid stripping screw heads.
