Step 3: Mounting the pole base bracket
You may install the fixed mount on any structurally sound surface; either on a horizontal, or vertical, or a sloped
surface such as a roof or wall.
The pole is shipped attached to the base bracket. Mount the base bracket of this assembly to the structure with the
appropriate hardware (not included). Once the base bracket is mounted, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the bubble level (figure 3) into the end of the pole (pipe) opposite the base bracket. The bubble
level fits inside the pole.
2. Loosen the pole attachment fasteners at the base bracket so the pole can swivel (figure 2).
3. Swivel the pole until the end of the pole where BGAN Remote Antenna will be installed is vertical (as
shown in Figure 4). Adjust the pipe position until the bubble is centered inside the circles on the top
surface of the bubble level as shown in figure 3.
4. Tighten the pole attachment fasteners on the base bracket (figure 2).
