Installing an indoor omni-directional external antenna (Canada)

When installing an indoor omni-directional external antenna:

•Use the bracket supplied to mount the antenna on a wall or ceiling.

Note: Use of a bracket other than the one supplied may not provide the necessary clearance between the floor or wall and the antenna.

•Install the bracket so that the external antenna is vertical. The recommended mounting height on a wall is half way between the floor and the ceiling.
