3. Antenna Mounting Options

There are three possible mounting options for the outdoor antenna, and the antenna mounting location you have chosen may determine which mounting methods you can use:

Wall Mount: Mounting the antenna directly on the side of a home or building.

Roof Mount: Mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building.

Mast Mount: Mounting the antenna on a mast or pole, such as an existing satel- lite TV dish mast, an existing TV antenna mast, or other mast or pole, not ex- ceeding 2 inches in diameter.

Wall Mount

The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position (as shown) and mounted directly to the wall of the building or home using the pro- vided #10 screws.

MOUNTING

HOLES

Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky as described in the previous section by locating the antenna too high under the eaves or soffit of the home or building.

Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the wall with the location of the four screw holes in the bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes in the wall for the screws and then screw the bracket to the wall.

Roof Mount

When mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building, mount the anten- na as close as possible to the peak of the roof. It can be mounted on the chimney or on the soffit of the home or building. Do not mount it directly on the roof sur- face to avoid leaks. Remember to avoid blocking the antenna’s view of the sky by locating it where a chimney, dormer, gable, etc., may obstruct the view of the sky.
