Bracket, Screws, and Screw Anchors.
1. Place the Wall Mount Bracket at the desired location on the
wall, with the one screw hole pointed towards the ground.
2. Use a pencil to mark the three holes on the wall.
3. Use a 6 mm drill bit to drill the holes in the wall.
4. Insert a Screw Anchor into each hole.
5. Secure the Wall Mount Bracket to the wall with the
self-tapping Screws.

6. Align the mounting tabs on the UniFi AP with the notches
on the Wall Mount Bracket, and slide the UniFi AP down
until it locks into place.
Pole Mount
To mount the UniFi AP on a pole, use the included Metal Strap:
1. Turn the screw on the Metal Strap counter-clockwise to
open the strap.

2. Straighten out the end of the Metal Strap and slide it
through the back of the UniFi AP.
3. Wrap the Metal Strap around the pole. Use a screwdriver
to turn the screw clockwise and securely fasten the strap
to the pole.

4. Connect the two Antennas to the RP-SMA connectors.
