# 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

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### HALO body

**Image placeholder:** `IK-1.svg` — HALO body (same file as EK-1)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Wall mount

**Image placeholder:** `IK-2.svg` — wall mount plate
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 6.5' power cord

**Image placeholder:** `IK-3.svg` — 6.5 foot power cord
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

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. |                                      |

{% hint style="info" %}
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.
{% endhint %}

## Mount your HALO

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Mark the location

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

**Image placeholder:** `IK-4.svg`
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Secure the wall mount

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

**Image placeholder:** `IK-5.svg`
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Insert the power cord

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

**Image placeholder:** `IK-6.svg`
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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.

**Image placeholder:** `IK-7.svg`
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Insert the iPad

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

**Image placeholder:** `IK-8.svg` (shared with EK-12)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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.

**Image placeholder:** `IK-9.svg` (shared with EK-13)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Power on

Plug the power cord into the wall and flip the bottom-back switch to power on.

**Image placeholder:** `IK-10.svg`
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### 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.

**Image placeholder:** `IK-11.svg` (shared with EK-15)
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.simplebooth.com/onboarding-guide/set-up-your-hardware/install-kit-stepper.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
