Installing RST310

This chapter explains how to install the RST310 and the Iridium fixed-mast antenna.

Warning:

Make sure the RST310 is switched off before you

install the cables. If you do not, the RST310 may be
damaged.

Note:

Before you install the RST310, determine if the unit is

preconfigured or needs customer configuration.

Mounting the RST310

The RST310 comes with two (2) standard right angle mounting brackets that allow
mounting for mobile and fixed positioning.

Note:

To ensure sturdy mount attachment:

1.  Mount the RST310 on a clean, even surface.
2.  Clean the mount surface of the RST310.
3.  Use the correct type of screws.
4.  If mounting on a wooden surface, m

ake sure the wood

is structurally sound.

5.

Leave enough room around the RST310 to allow
unhindered access to the rear panel.

6.

Do not install the unit in a permanently concealed
recess. You should be able to access and remove the
unit should future service be required.
