Step 6: Mount the Device
The device is designed to directly mount to a pole. By using the supplied brackets and hardware, you can mount them to a
1.25 inch to 3-inch pole (outside diameter). Longer bolts (not supplied) are required for mounting the device to a larger
diameter pole. By using just one of the pole mounting brackets, you can mount the device to a wall or other flat surface. The
device must always be mounted with all access ports of the integrated antenna pointed straight down to achieve horizontal
and vertical polarization.
To pole mount the device, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the pole intended for installation is securely attached to a solid base.
2. Attach the mounting bracket (1) to the device with the provided screws and washers.
