. antenna mounting options
There are three possible mounting options for the outdoor antenna, and the
antenna mounting location you have chosen may determine which mounting
methods you can use:
Wall mount: Mounting the antenna directly on the side of a home or building.
Roof mount: Mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building.
Mast Mount: Mounting the antenna on a mast or pole, such as an existing satel-
lite TV dish mast, an existing TV antenna mast, or other mast or pole, not ex-
ceeding 2 inches in diameter.
Wall Mount
The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position (as
shown) and mounted directly to the wall of the building or home using the pro-
vided #10 screws.
Remember to avoid blocking the antenna's view of the sky as described in the
previous section by locating the antenna too high under the eaves or soffit of the
home or building.
INCORRECT
Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting
bracket as a template and mark the wall with the location of the four screw holes
in the bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes in the wall for the
screws and then screw the bracket to the wall.
Roof Mount
When mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building, mount the anten-
na as close as possible to the peak of the roof. It can be mounted on the chimney
or on the soffit of the home or building. Do not mount it directly on the roof sur-
face to avoid leaks. Remember to avoid blocking the antenna's view of the sky by
locating it where a chimney, dormer, gable, etc., may obstruct the view of the sky.
