To mount the RoamAbout 2.4 GHz directional antenna to a wide mast, perform the following steps:

1.Loosen the nuts on the open end of the U‐bolt until you can swing the notched end of the bracket (side with the channel washer) off of the U‐bolt.

2.Insert the U‐bolt around the mast.

3.If necessary, to widen the opening between the mounting brackets, turn the nuts for the mounting bracket near the closed end of the U‐bolt so that bracket moves towards the closed end of the U‐bolt.

4.Swing the notched end of the bracket (nearest the open end of the U‐bolt) onto the U‐bolt. Tighten the nuts until the brackets grip the mast snugly.

5.Turn the tilt angle adjuster to the angle at which you want to mount the antenna.

6.Repeat steps 1 through 5 to attach the second U‐bolt mount to the mast.

7.Connect the antenna to the screws in the middle of the tilt angle adjusters on each U‐bolt.

8.After mounting the antenna, connect the antenna cables as described in Connecting the Antenna Cables” on page 3‐34.
