Install Kit (stepper)

Your HALO Install Kit mounts to a wall for a permanent spot. This guide covers what's in the box, choosing fasteners, and mounting your HALO.

What's in your box

You'll also need fasteners. Because we don't know your wall type, fasteners aren't included. Pick them up at most hardware stores using the guide below, and always follow the instructions that come with your fasteners.

Surface	Into wood studs	Into metal studs / anchors
Drywall	#10 wood screws, 1¼" or longer	#10 toggle bolts, 1¼", rated 50+ lbs
Plaster	#10 wood screws, 2" or longer	#10 toggle bolts, 2", rated 50+ lbs
Masonry	Any 3/16" x 1¼" masonry anchor, rated for hundreds of lbs. A hammer drill makes it easier.

Mounting to something else? Research your surface type and choose fasteners rated for 50+ lbs. When mounting to drywall or plaster, always find and use a stud, with anchors for the other half of the mount.

Mount your HALO

1

Mark the location

Use the wall mount plate to mark your fastener positions. We recommend about 5 feet (1.5 m) high.

Secure the wall mount

Hang the mount following your fasteners' instructions. Make sure it's fully tightened and secure.

Insert the power cord

The cord goes into the back of the HALO, so plug it in before mounting.

4

Mount the HALO

Guide the silver pin on the back of the HALO into the wall mount's receptacle until it's fully inserted. When seated correctly, the pin shouldn't be visible. Lock it in place using the wall mount's securing screw.

Insert the iPad

Pull the faceplate off using the side tabs near the top, then secure the iPad with the interior swivel tabs.

6

Plug in the iPad and replace the faceplate

Hold the bottom of the iPad near the base of the HALO body to avoid straining the cable, then press the faceplate back onto the magnets.

Adjust lighting and exposure

Set HALO's brightness with the side knob. Fine-tune exposure and other camera settings in the app's Mission Control. Adjust brightness and camera settings together for the best result.
