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

Step 1 Choose a location for mounting.

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 Find the molded wall mount and position it on the mounting surface. Use a pencil to mark the location of the mounting holes. There are four holes for wall-mounting, one in each corner.

Step 6 Using a 3/16-in. (4.7 mm) drill bit, drill holes for the screws at the locations you marked in Step 5.

Step 7 Route the cable either up or down from the wall or corner.

Step 8 Install a wall anchor in each hole.

Step 9 Line up the mounting holes on the molded wall mount with the pilot holes and start one of the provided 8-18 x 3/4-in. self-tapping Phillips screws in each hole.

Step 10 Tighten the screws with a Philips screwdriver.

Step 11 Attach the articulating arm to the molded wall mount (all 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 wall mount, then the articulating arm.

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