1. If you are using the quadrifilar helix antenna, mount the bracket securely
to a stable surface so that your antenna will have a clear view of the sky
after it is added to the bracket. After the antenna is installed, it should
point towards the sky and be perpendicular to the ground.

2. Place the threaded base of the quadrifilar helix antenna through the
circular hole in the mounting bracket.
3. Place the internal tooth washer on the threaded end of the antenna and
screw the nut onto the antenna until it is finger tight. Be careful to
tighten the nut but not to over tighten it as this can cause the antenna
plastics to crack.
4. Measure the distance between the RAU and the antenna and select the
appropriate cable type and length from the chart. See Table 3-1.
5. Screw the SMA connector on one end of the cable to the Tx SMA connector
on the top of the brass plug on the RAU.
6. Screw the SMA connector on the other end of the cable to the Tx SMA
connector on the end of the Tx cable coming out of the antenna.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the Rx connection.
Note
Do not cross your connections as this can damage your unit.
8. Dress and tie down your cables.
