To mount the antenna on a pole, follow these steps:

Step 1 Choose a location for mounting. The diameter of the mast must be from 1.5 in. to 2.5 in. (25 mm to 70 mm).

Step 2 If an extension coaxial cable is used, connect it to the access point and extend the coaxial cable to the location for mounting the antenna.

Step 3 Attach the antenna to the molded antenna mount using the four provided 8-32 nylon lock nuts.

Step 4 Attach the antenna mount to the articulating arm (all mounting hardware is provided):

a.Place a 1/4-in. lock washer, then a 1/4-in. flat washer on a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4-in. machine screw.

b.Insert the screw and washers, first through the molded antenna mount, then the articulating arm.

c.Secure the articulating arm to the molded antenna mount using a 1/4-20 hex nut.

Step 5 Thread the two worm tie clamps provided through the four square holes of the molded wall mount.

Step 6 Wrap the worm tie clamps around the pole and tighten them using a small flat-head screwdriver.
