The bracket is attached to the pole using the U-bolt and one or two of the supplied jaw-clamps
(top left in Figure 5). One jaw-clamp is used between the bracket and the pole; the second clamp
may be used on smaller-diameter poles by placing it over the U-bolt before putting the U-bolt
around the pole.
After placing the U-bolt around the pole, place the bracket over the legs of the U-bolt such that
one leg passes through the round hole and the other leg passes through the curved slot. Snug the
bracket slightly with the supplied nuts and lockwashers, but do not tighten until you have aligned
the unit. The result should resemble Figure 8.

Aligning the HotClient
The Alignment LED provides a visual indication of signal strength. Point the HotClient in the direc-
tion of its signal source, then carefully adjust it, both horizontally and vertically, using the Align-
ment LED as a guide. When you receive the strongest signal, tighten the nuts. Figure 9 shows how
the bracket can be used to tilt the unit.
