3.8 Antenna Alignment E60 systems
1. Place the radio in the mounting bracket, make sure both bolts slide to the bottom of
the cutouts.
2. Tighten mounting bolts just enough to allow radio to pivot up/down and right/left
with minimal effort. DO NOT CONNECT EITHER THE DC OR FIBER
CABLES TO THE RADIO AT THIS POINT! Tilt the radio so that it is roughly
points towards the other end of the link.
3. Insert the Visual Alignment Tool (VAT) into one of the 4 holes in the front (antenna)
face of the radio. The VAT is used to precisely orient (align) the radio in the correct
direction. Select the hole that allows the most convenient viewing of the other end of
the link. The best viewing is achieved with your eye ~13 inches (~33cm) from the
VAT mirror. Move the radio such that it is aimed at the point tangent to the top of the
red indicator when all three indicators (green/red/green) are in a line with equal gaps
between the indicators.

4. Tilt the radio up/down and right/left so that the radio at the other end of the link is
positioned at the top of the red indicator. See example on the next page.
