GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

CAUTION - EXTREME DANGER - OVERHEAD WIRES

When installing any outside antenna, be very aware of all overhead electrical wire

and service feeds. Contact with power lines could be catastrophic and INJURY or

DEATH may result. When faced with a difficult antenna installation location, do

not proceed - contact your supervisor at once.

The following sections list installation procedures for various types of mounting

schemes. The order of preference is as listed in these instructions. In other words, wall

and eave mounts are preferable over roof mounts, and so on for aesthetic reasons.

Note that you will need to evaluate various of the installation and mounting procedures

listed in this guide in order to determine the one which provides the best aesthetics and

still provides adequate signal quality for proper reception of signals.

SAFETY NOTE: Aluminum ladders are not to be used for field installation or

repair service. Only ladders that have fiberglass rails may be used because of the

possibility of contact with electrical wires or other energized conductors.

Ladders should be checked weekly to make sure that they are in good repair and

safe working order.

Instructions:

1. Determine the location of antenna. Choose a location and height for the antennas

so that the radio frequency propagation path is not obstructed by tall trees,

buildings, freeway overpasses, or any other large obstacle that may interfere or

disperse the radio frequency signal. Refer to the network operator’s coverage

guidelines to determine coverage range where this product may be used.

2. Install a tripod or mast to the structure on which the antenna will be mounted. Refer

to operator guidelines on allowable mount types and criteria to determine which is

appropriate.

3. Mount the planar antenna to the mast using the mounting hardware provided. Be

sure to observe the polarity indicating arrow cast into the antenna radome to ensure
