Installing the Antenna
Tools and Equipment Required
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
