Tools and Equipment Required

Installing the Antenna

You will need these tools to loosen and tighten the adjustment bolts on the bracket:

•A 1/2 in. (13-mm) wrench or socket

To mount the antenna on a wall or ceiling, you will need these supplies:

•Four mounting screws or bolts and wall anchors

Note The fasteners and mounting surface should be capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 150 pounds (68 kg) to support the weight of the antenna and bracket plus the potential wind loading on the antenna.

To mount the antenna on a pole or mast, you will need either or both of these supplies:

•Slotted screwdriver to tighten the screws on the hose clamps

•A 5/16 in. (8mm) socket or box wrench

Note The pole or mast must be rigid enough to hold the weight of the antenna plus the associated forces produced by wind loads. In addition, the pole or mast must be structurally strong enough to withstand the clamping force of the hose clamps.

You may need the following tools and equipment, which are not provided:

•A drill and drill bit

•A pencil

Mounting on a Wall or Ceiling

Follow these steps to mount your antenna on a wall or ceiling.

Step 1 Remove the antenna and bracket hardware from the shipping container.

Step 2 Determine the mounting location for the antenna.

Note The fasteners and mounting surface should be capable of maintaining a minimum pullout force of 150 pounds (68 kg) to support the weight of the antenna plus the potential wind loading on the antenna.

Step 3 Attach the mounting bracket to the wall or ceiling using four screws or bolts and anchors through the holes on the bracket. Figure 5 shows the wall-mount bracket.
