Pole Installation

To mount the antenna on a pole, perform the following steps:
1. Attach the pole‐mounting brackets to the antenna:

2. Place the mounting clamps on the pole.
If you cannot slide the clamps over the top of the pole, completely loosen the clamps until they
come apart, then refasten them after placing them around the pole.
3. Align the clamps around the cutouts in the sides of the pole‐mounting brackets, then tighten
the clamps to fasten the antenna in place.

To attach the antenna to a wall, perform the following steps:
1. Prepare the screw holes as follows:
a.
b. If necessary, drill pilot holes for the screws.
c.
d. Align the antenna or mounting plate screw holes over the holes you prepared.

Place one of the pole‐mounting brackets against the back of the antenna, and align the
screw holes over two screw holes in the antenna.
Make sure the large slot in the bracket is not behind the antenna. If it is, turn the bracket
around.
Place a lock washer and nut on the other end of each screw, and tighten to fasten the
bracket to the antenna.
Hold the antenna (or mounting plate) in the desired installation location and mark the
wall in the locations of the screw holes. The mounting plate is not included.
If necessary, insert drywall anchors into the holes.
Note: The screws in the mounting kit are for attaching the antenna to the pole mounting brackets,
and might not be appropriate for the wall or mounting plate.
