Loosely hand-tighten the antenna nut so that the cable can be attached with ease.
Attach the cable to the antenna.
Hand tighten the N-connector to the antenna.
Tighten the antenna nut securely after the cable is installed.
Use weatherproof sealing tape (coax seal) at the connector junction. Start wrapping at the top of the
antenna connector, wrap downward 3 times and end about 2 inches downward from the center of the
connector junction. Then wrap upwards another 3 times to reach the top of the antenna connector.
If the antenna is going to be mast mounted, install the clamps provided in the mounting bracket.
Align the antenna so the top of the metal bracket is even with or slightly above the top of the mast
tubing.
If the antenna is to be wall mounted, use the screws provided.
Use both clamps and screws for extra security if required.
