Installation Instructions

Note: Review the entire guide before beginning the installation.

1. Position the antennas in line of sight to each other to ensure
the best reception. Keep the antenna clear from metal walls
and surfaces.

2. Attach the antenna mount to a ridged 1.25” to 1.75”
diameter pole.

3. Route the antenna coaxial (coax) cable from the antenna
to the radio unit.

4. Use a lightning arrestor and a single point ground to help
protect equipment.
