INSTALLING THE ANTENNA
Mounting Location
To get optimum performance from the antenna it should be mounted as high as possible, clear of any obstructions. For
maximum signal, we recommend external mounting to reduce signal losses caused by building structures etc.
CONTENTS
Before installing your antenna, please check that the kit includes
all the following components.
nWindow suction
nWall mounting
nPole mounting
nPlace each of the four suction cups through the holes in the
bracket.
nInsert the suction cup pins from the front of the bracket into the
holes.
The antenna is supplied with a bracket (see picture 1) which allows for 3
different mounting options:

nUse the mounting bracket as a template to mark out the four
screw holes. If mounting into masonry, use a 6mm masonry drill
bit to drill four holes.
nPlace the bracket over the four holes and line up the holes in the
bracket with those in the wall. Place the four knock-in screws
into the holes and drive in the screws using a screw driver and
hammer. (see picture 2)
Wall mounting
nUnscrew the hose clamp so it can be opened up.
nInsert the hose clamp through the bracket (see picture 3). Now
place the hose camp around the pole and tighten the screw on the
hose clamp until the bracket is secured to the pole (see picture 4).

IMPORTANT: Some data cards or modems will only detect the connector of an external antenna on
power up.
NOTE: Signal strength may be displayed either graphically with bars where more bars mean stronger
signal strength or as a signal level value in dBm where the closer to 0 (zero), the better. For example, a
signal level of -75dBm is better than a signal level of -85dBm.
nConnect the data card or modem to your computer and follow the manufactures instructions to open the
management software so that the screen shows the received signal strength. You may need to turn off your
system and power up again after you have connected the antenna.
nConnect the antenna cables (terminated with SMA type connectors) to 4G data card or modem. For devices
using other connector types, 2 x patch leads (optional / not included) will be required to connect the antenna
(SMA) to the device (phone or data card). Please contact your retail or network provider for availability.
Wall screws
The included pole mount bracket allows for the antenna to be mounted on a
typical television antenna type hockey stick mount or any other vertical pole
(maximum diameter of 50mm).
