Mounting
Table top
ZipaTile is primarily intended for on-wall mounting, but it can be used on table top as well. In this case, please keep the wall holder affixed to ZipaTile and use the built-in table top stand at the back of the wall holder. Just plug AC/DC adapter into free electrical socket and other side into the ZipaTile.
ZipaTile is primarily made for on-wall usage. Table top holder can’t resist strong touch pressure.

Wall mount with built in power supply
This is a default way of using ZipaTile. It requires usage of in-wall power supply and a wall hole with the 110-220V power wire at the place where you want to mount the ZipaTile.
Press firmly wire socket to charger pins, clamps inside the wire socket need to be widened with pins by hand pressure for tight fit.
Figure 7. Installing the wall holder
Before performing any electrical work turn OFF the power to the AC wires leading into in-wall box at the main power source. Before starting installation make sure the power is really off by using a non-contact voltage detector.
Installations should be performed in accordance with all national and local electrical codes. If you are unsure or have questions about the installation, please seek an advice of a qualified electrician. Do not apply power to the ZipaTile before completing installation. Please make sure that a proper power cut-off device is part of your power supply circuit (electrical fuse).
Wall mount with plug-in power supply
If there is no in-wall box at desired mounting location, please use the wire channel at the back of the wall holder to place the power wires behind the ZipaTile and use the bundled plug-in power supply to connect to the wall socket.
