1.2 Mount Antenna
1.2.1
Assemble Antenna Bracket
The antenna bracket can be used without its
extension rod to mount the antenna about
2.5 inches (64 mm) from the wall or, with
the extension rod added, 5 inches (127 mm)
from the wall. Determine which will be best
for your installation and assemble the
bracket as needed. Refer to Figure 4.
NOTE: If the antenna will be mounted on the side of the building, where it may need to be
pivoted to nearly a 90 degree angle from the mounting surface, it will probably require using
the extension rod on the bracket.
1.2.2 Mount Antenna Bracket on Wall
• Hold the base of the antenna bracket against the wall at
the mounting location, and mark the wall through the
three screw holes in the base.
• Put the bracket aside and drill a

16
inch (4.76 mm)
hole in the wall at each of the marked spots.
• Insert one of the enclosed screw anchors all the way
into each of the drilled holes.
• Place the base of the bracket with its three screw holes
over the anchors and insert the enclosed screws
through the holes, screwing them all the way into the
anchors to hold the bracket securely in place.
• Drill a ¾ inch (19 mm) hole in the wall, centered
approximately 2 inches (50.8 mm) below the base of
the bracket, where the antenna cable will be inserted.
1.2.3 Attach Antenna to Bracket
• Screw the center hole on the back of the antenna onto the threaded tip of the bracket,
as shown in Figure 6.
• Pivot the antenna to the desired position, so the flat surface on the front of the antenna is
pointing toward the area where extended coverage is most needed, and lock it in place by
turning the lock knob clockwise to tighten it.
• Insert the antenna cable connector and cable through the hole in the wall below the
bracket, as shown in Figure 7.
• Be sure enough cable is left outside the hole for the antenna to be pivoted freely, and so
any rain water on the cable will drip off it rather than running down the cable toward the
hole, and fill the hole around the cable with weatherproofing sealant.
