Pole Mounting
• Lay the antenna out at the installation site
and carefully assemble the antenna to the
L-bracket using the provided bolts.
• Next place the U-bolts around the pole
and push both the econo brackets and the
assembled L-bracket through the U-bolts.
Tighten the nuts on the U-bolt until the brack-
et is secured to the pole.
• Mount the antenna so that there is at least 1
meter of clearance in all directions around
it and unobstructed line of sight to the cell
tower’s strongest signal.
OMNI-292 is a pole and wall mountable,
medium gain, omnidirectional antenna. It can
be mounted outdoors on a pole of up to 50mm
in diameter, or against a wall. Follow the
instructions below for installation.

Antenna Mounting Precautions
4
• Place the antenna at the highest point
possible and ensure that there are
not any obstructions surrounding 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 by the chimney can obstruct
the signal level achieved by the
antenna.
• Install the antenna away from heat
sourcesandammablegases.
Cable Routing
5
• Avoid wrapping the cables around the
pole. Route the antenna cables 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 minimum cable loss is achieved.
• Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable ensuring the cable is
not under tension.
• The minimum allowed cable bend radius
is 30mm.
• Cover connector with insulation tape
before threading them through a hole.

Safety
6
• If you are installing an antenna for the
rsttimeorunsureofhowtoinstallyour
antenna, obtain the help of a professional
installer.
• Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure hand holds,
dangerous conditions (such as power
lines and weak roofs) and the safest and
most convenient placement for ladders if
necessary.
• When installing your antenna, remember:
1. Do not install near power lines as they
can electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day,
or if there is lightning or thunder in the
area.
3. Wear shoes with rubber soles and heels
and protective clothing (long sleeve
shirt or jacket) and rubber gloves.
4. Avoid operating while under the
inuenceofdrugs,alcoholor
medication.
5. Makesurethatanyloosetting
jewellery or clothing is secured and tie
back long hair as they can get caught
in moving parts during installation.
6. If the antenna starts to fall, get away
from it and let it fall to avoid harm to
yourself.

• 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.
