Mounting the Antenna
3-18 Antenna Installation
Pole Installation
To mount the antenna on a pole, perform the following steps:
1. Attach the pole‐mounting brackets to the antenna:
a. Place one of the pole‐mounting brackets against the back of the antenna, and align the
screw holes over two screw holes in the antenna.
Make sure the large slot in the bracket is not behind the antenna. If it is, turn the bracket
around.
b. Insert two of the screws in the mounting kit into the antenna screw holes.
c. Place a lock washer and nut on the other end of each screw, and tighten to fasten the
bracket to the antenna.
d. Repeat for the other bracket.
2. Place the mounting clamps on the pole.
If you cannot slide the clamps over the top of the pole, completely loosen the clamps until they
come apart, then refasten them after placing them around the pole.
3. Align the clamps around the cutouts in the sides of the pole‐mounting brackets, then tighten
the clamps to fasten the antenna in place.
Solid Wall Installation
To attach the antenna to a wall, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare the screw holes as follows:
a. Hold the antenna (or mounting plate) in the desired installation location and mark the
wall in the locations of the screw holes. The mounting plate is not included.
b. If necessary, drill pilot holes for the screws.
c. If necessary, insert drywall anchors into the holes.
d. Align the antenna or mounting plate screw holes over the holes you prepared.
2. Insert the screws into the holes to fasten the antenna to the wall. If you are using a mounting
plate, attach the antenna to the plate, then attach the plate to the wall.
