Using the mounting kit
 
	 For best results, install the base stations using a mounting kit. If you purchased the first-generation 
		VIVE, it has the mounting kit in the box. 
	 
Otherwise, you can separately purchase a similar mounting kit from a third-party supplier. 
	 
Note: You will need a screwdriver or drill to install the mounts. Ask a professional for help when using power tools. 
	 
- 
Mark where you want to install each of the mounts on your wall, and then screw the mounts in. 
		  
When mounting on concrete or drywall, first drill ¼ inch holes and insert anchors before screwing mounts in.
 - Rotate the base station to screw it onto the threaded ball joint. Do not screw the base station all the way in, only enough to be stable and oriented correctly.
 - 
Tighten the wingnut to the base station to secure it in place. 
		  

 - To adjust the angle of the base station, loosen the clamping ring while carefully holding the base station to prevent it from falling.
 - 
Tilt the base station toward the play area. 
		  
Make sure it has an unobstructed view of the other base station. Each base station has a 120-degree field of view. They should be angled down between 30 and 45 degrees.
To fix the angle of the base station, tighten the clamping ring back in.
 - 
Attach the power cable to each base station.
