reflector‑dependent).
The LiteBeam ac mounted outdoors without the reflector
installed provides outdoor‑to‑indoor coverage using the 3 dBi
Antenna Feed only.

Hardware Installation
1. Assemble the antenna reflector by attaching the Side
Reflector Panels to the Center Reflector Panel:
a. Insert the heads of the two mounting studs on the
Center Reflector Panel into the large opening of the
slotted holes of a Side Reflector Panel.
b. Slide the Side Reflector Panel down until the top edges
of the panels align. The Side Reflector Panel is captured
when both heads of the mounting studs are positioned
over the narrow opening of the slotted holes.
c. Repeat the assembly for the other Side Reflector Panel.

2. Hold the reflector assembly by hand (do not use a tabletop
or flat surface) and insert the Feed Receiver into the
reflector assembly to secure the panels:
a. Align the arrows on the Center Reflector Panel and the
Feed Receiver, and insert both edges of the Side Reflector
Panels and Center Reflector Panels into the Securing Arms
of the Feed Receiver.

b. Insert the Feed Receiver into the Center Reflector Panel by
pressing the top and bottom snap hooks into the slots
of the Center Reflector Panel.

WARNING: Do not install the Feed Receiver into the
reflector assembly by pushing down onto a tabletop or
other flat surface as this can deform the panels. Hold the
reflector assembly by hand.
3. (Optional) For additional support, attach four M3x4
self‑tapping screws (not included) to the antenna
assembly.

4. Attach the Ball Joint Mount to the Feed Receiver by turning
the lock nut clockwise by hand. Do not tighten the nut.
5. Insert the Antenna Feed into the Feed Receiver until the feed
locks into place.
