2.1.4 WiFi / 3G / 4G Antenna Installation
Thread the WiFi / 3G / 4G antenna extension cable through an antenna hole
of the front I/O cover and fasten the antenna as shown below. Then apply
adhesive to the edge of the hex nut behind the front I/O cover to prevent the
extension cable from falling if the cable becomes loose.
1. Thread and fasten the hex nut and the
washer. Then install the antenna.
2. Apply adhesive around here.
Info: The diameter of the nut is around 6.35 mm (0.25”-36UNC).

2.1.5 Mounting Installation
Requirements
Before mounting the system, ensure that you have enough room for the power
adaptor and signal cable routing, and have good ventilation for the power
adaptor. The method of mounting must be able to support weight of the SI-
61S plus the weight of the suspending cables attached to the system. Use the
following methods for mounting your system:
Wall Mounting Installation
1. Turn your device upside down. Attach the wall-mount kit (2 brackets) to
the device and secure with the supplied 8 screws.
2. Prepare at least 4 screws (M3) to install the device on the wall as shown.
You can also install the wall mount kit onto either side of the device.
