Step 2 –Open The Wiriepro Enclosure
a. Open the waterproof enclosure.
b. Locate The Wiriepro router which is mounted on the door.
c. Remove the backing from the adhesive tape on the bottom of the GPS antenna.
d. Carefully attach the GPS antenna in the location and orientation shown below. It is very
important that the antenna is mounted as shown or GPS performance may be effected. The
GPS antenna should be as far to the left on top of the router as possible with the cable leading
to the left and downward.
Note: The adhesive will allow you to reposition as needed, but after 24 hours the GPS antenna
cannot be moved anymore.

WiFi antenna (or local WiFi cable) attaches to the router.
