radiator.
2. Remove the waveguide cap from the radiator bracket. The cap may be discarded.
3. Coat the waveguide flange with anticorrosive sealant as shown below.

7. Coat hex bolts M8x40 (for XN-20AF or XN-24AF) or hex bolt M8x35/ flat washer/spring
washer (for XN-12AF) with anticorrosive sealant and use them to loosely fasten the
antenna radiator to the antenna unit chassis.
