The radio is sealed at the factory warranty stickers on the inner
(metal) cover of the radio. There is no need to open this cover in
the field. Tampering with these seals will void the warranty.
3.4 Installation Tools
The following tools, not provided by BridgeWave, are required for installing the radio and the
antenna:
· Screwdriver, slotted 0.1 inch wide.
· Open­end wrench 9/16 inch ­ 2 ea.
· Open­end wrench 1/2 inch.
· Ratchet with 6­inch extension and 9/16 inch deep socket.

3.5 Antenna Mount Installation
1. Read these instructions before beginning installation. Caution
should be used. Qualified persons experienced with antenna
assembly and installation are required for installation.
2. BridgeWave Communications Inc. disclaims any responsibility
or liability for damage or injury resulting from incorrect or unsafe
installation practices.
3. The antenna has been formed to a very close tolerance
parabolic shape. Careful handling and assembly is required to
avoid denting the reflector, which would degrade antenna
performance.
When using the left side radio mount position, the antenna ends up
getting rotated by 180 degrees. The drain hole must be open at
the bottom and closed off at the top of the antenna to prevent
water ingress.
· For the 80X, move the bottom drain hole plug to the top
drain hole position.
· For the Standard 80 remove the four Philips head screws
