Mounting the Antenna
3-28 Antenna Installation
To attach the antenna bracket to the antenna, perform the following steps:
1.
Place the antenna so that the side with screw holes is facing up.
2.
Use the polarization label on the upper left corner of the antenna to orient the antenna with
the correct polarization.
3.
Situate the antenna bracket against the antenna, so that the end against the antenna pivots in
the same plane as the desired polarization. For example, if using vertical polarization, this
antenna bracket end should pivot up and down. If using horizontal polarization, this antenna
bracket end should pivot from side‐to‐side.
4.
Use the four (yellow) hex nuts, to secure the antenna bracket to the back of the antenna.
5.
Rotate the pivot of the bracket end attached to the antenna to adjust the antenna position.
Lock bracket in desired position by tightening nuts on either side of bracket end with
wrenches.

the mast. Turn the carriage bolt nuts towards or away from the mast bracket to slide it towards
or away from the other mast bracket.
2.
Slide mast mounts over the top of the mast.
3.
Tighten the carriage bolt nuts until the mast brackets grip the mast snugly.
4.
Rotate the pivot of the bracket end attached to the mast to adjust the antenna position. Lock
