Key Points
When installing a shelf rail, keep in mind that the angle the
SmarTalker will be viewed at is very important. Your completed
installation should provide the best combination of visibility and lack
of glare.
The following table provides optimum viewing angles for SmarTalker
tags. The angles are based an average person’s eye height of 1.59 m
(62.6 in.) and average shelf-viewing distance of .91 m (36 in.).

Attaching SmarTalkers to C-channels
A SmarTalker can be installed into a rail that is installed into a shelf’s
C-channel. The rail may be either a fixed-angle rail or an adjustable-
angle rail.
To install a rail into a shelf’s C-channel, insert the bottom lip of the rail
into the C-channel and press the top lip into the top of the C-channel.
Flexing the mounting portion of the rail may help. Also, a tool may be
available from the rail manufacturer to help with this.
In the following illustration, an adjustable rail is installed into a shelf’s
C-channel. After installation, the angle of the rail is adjusted for the
best combination of visibility and lack of glare.

Attaching SmarTalkers to Angled Rails
The rails in the following illustration have fixed angles and can be
easily screwed to the top of a shelf. This method of attachment
provides a rigid and durable installation.
After installing the angled rail, install the SmarTalker by opening the
front cover flap, placing the bottom of the tag into the bottom of the
rail and pressing the top of the tag into the rail until it snaps into place.

Attaching SmarTalkers to Individual Clips
A SmarTalker can be installed into an individual clip that is installed
into a shelf’s C-channel. The clip may be either a fixed-angle clip or an
adjustable-angle clip.
In the following illustration, an adjustable clip is installed into a shelf’s
C-channel. After installation, the angle of the clip is adjusted for the
best combination of visibility and lack of glare.

Installing and Removing a SmarTalker
To install a SmarTalker, insert the bottom edge of the SmarTalker into
the rail and then push the top of the SmarTalker into the rail.
To remove a SmarTalker, a SmarTalker EPL Removal Tool (or EPL
Puller) is required. The following illustration shows how the EPL
Removal Tool is used.
1. Insert the EPL Removal Tool and push it against the rail.
2. Unhook the pawls of the SmarTalker by lifting the tool as shown
and pulling the SmarTalker out.
