Select a suitable place for mounting the antenna
•Using the wall mount bracket as a guide,
mark two points to drill on the wall.
Use a 5mm masonry drill bit to drill the
marked points.
•Use a masonry drill bit to drill a cable entry
hole to t the connector.
•Place the bracket over the two holes and
line up the holes in the bracket with the
holes in the wall.
•Insert the two knock-in screws to mount the
bracket to the wall.

Antenna Mounting Precautions
7
•Place the antenna at the highest point
possible and ensure that there are no
surrounding obstructions to the antenna.
•In order to avoid communication
interference, ensure that the antenna is
placed at least 0.5m away from other
antennas and metal objects.
•Avoid installing the antenna near
a chimney, as the smoke and soot
emitted through the chimney can
obstruct the signal level achieved by
the antenna.
•Install the antenna away from heat
sources and ammable gases.
Cable Routing
8
• Avoid wrapping the cable around the
pole. Route the antenna cable straight
down the inside of the pole to avoid
using extra equipment such as cable
ties.
• Use the minimum cable length required.
Do not run more cable than needed to
ensure that cable losses are minimised
• Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable ensuring the cable is
not under tension.
• The allowable cable bend radius is
30mm; avoid sharp bends.
• Cover connectors with insulation tape
before threading them through a hole.
• Install the cable with a drip-loop where
the cable entry is above the point of
connection. This will prevent water from
running onto the antenna connector
and other equipment which it is
connected to.

Safety
9
• If you are installing an antenna for the
rst time, or if you are unsure about the
antenna installation process, the use
of a professional installer’s services is
recommended.
• Survey the installation site beforehand to
identify safe access paths and/or ladder
mounting positions, and hazards such as
power lines and structural weak spots.
• When installing your antenna, remember:
1. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
install the antenna away from power
lines.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy
day, or if lightning and/or thunder is
forecasted/present.
3. Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels,
protective clothing, and rubber gloves.
4. Avoid performing installations while
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
5. Secure any loose-tting jewellery/
clothing, and tie back long hair during
the installation process.
6. If the antenna or any of the installed
components/equipment used begins
to fall, do not attempt to catch it unless
it cannot be avoided.

9 Safety
• When drilling, remember to:
1. Use safety goggles when drilling the
holes.
2. Avoid using bits that are dull, bent or
damaged.
3. Be aware of where your ngers are in
relation to the drill bit when using the
drilling machine.
4. To stop the drilling machine, let the drill
chuck come to a complete stop on
its own. Do not grasp the chuck in an
attempt to stop the drill bit.
5. Hold the drill correctly, as a sudden slip
could cause severe damage to your
hand.
CAUTION:
Antennas must be installed to provide
a separation distance of at least 20cm
from all persons so as to comply with SAR
(Specic Absorption Rate) RF Exposure
requirements.
