Installation

Now that you have determined where to place the antenna, you have three different mounting options. Each option is described below.

or

Wall Mount

We recommend mounting the bracket horizontally if mounting to a non-flat surface like vinyl siding. Once the mounting location has been determined, take a pencil and mark through the bracket, onto the house wall, the four screw locations. Then set the mounting bracket down and pre-drill holes in the four locations you just marked (drill bit size 3/32 is recommended with #10 screws). Position the mounting bracket over the four pre-drilled holes and screw in the top two #10 screws, that are included with this package through the mounting bracket into the wall of

the house. Then screw in the bottom two. At this point, move onto the Adjustment section of the owner‘s manual on page 6.

Roof Mount

Installation

SIR6	We recommend mounting the bracket vertically on a
	roof as high up as possible as shown on page 4.
	The antenna should not be blocked by an obstruction like
	trees or a chimney. Once you have determined your
	mounting location, place the mounting bracket on that
	location on the roof. Take your drill and pre-drill holes,
	using a 3/32 drill bit, through the top two holes on the
	mounting bracket. Screw in two of the #10 screws
	included with this package, through the mounting bracket
	into the pre-drilled holes in the roof. Repeat this step for
	the bottom two holes. At this point, move onto the
	Adjustment section of the owner’s manual on page 6.

Mast Mount

or

The SIR6 can be mounted to most masts. We recommend mounting the antenna to a mast on the roof or on the mast of a satellite TV dish. You will need the 2 U-bolts,

2 mount brackets, 4 washers and 4 nuts for this installation. Once you have determined where on the mast you wish to mount the antenna, place the mounting bracket in that location against the mast. Put one of the U-bolts through the top two holes on the mounting bracket. Take one of the mount brackets and insert it through the two ends of the U-bolt on the other side of the mast. Make sure the inside of the curve of the mount bracket is towards the mast. Using one hand to hold the mounting bracket, U-bolt and U-bolt bracket take your other hand and place one washer and nut on one end of the U-bolt, then turn the nut four or five complete rotations and then place one washer and nut on the other end of the U-bolt, turn the nut four or five complete rotations. Make sure the mounting bracket is in the desired location and tighten both nuts until the mounting bracket is secure on the mast. Repeat these steps for the second U-bolt. Once complete, move to the Adjustment section of the owner’s manual on page 6.
