Cisco 5-in-1 Vehicle Mount and Fixed Infrastructure Antenna (ANT-5-4G2WL2G1-O)

If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as others, seek professional assistance. Your
Cisco sales representative can explain which mounting method to use for the size and type antenna you are about to install.

Before you install an antenna, contact your Cisco account representative to explain which mounting method to use for the
size and type of antenna that you are about to install.

Find someone to help you—installing an antenna is often a two-person job.

Select your installation site with safety, as well as performance, in mind. Remember that electric power lines and phone
lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any overhead line can kill you.

Contact your electric power company. Tell them your plans and ask them to come look at your proposed installation.

Plan your installation carefully and completely before you begin. Each person involved in an installation should be assigned
to a specific task, and should know what to do and when to do it. One person should be in charge of the operation to issue
instructions and watch for signs of trouble.

When installing your antenna, follow these guidelines:
— Do not use a metal ladder.
— Do not work on a wet or windy day.
— Do dress properly—wear shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.

If the assembly starts to drop, move away from it and let it fall. Because the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are
all excellent conductors of electrical current, even the slightest touch of any of these parts to a power line completes an
electrical path through the antenna and the installer.

If any part of the antenna system should come in contact with a power line, do not touch it or try to remove it yourself. Call
your local power company to have it removed safely.

If an accident should occur with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help immediately.
Tools and Equipment Required
In addition to the parts included in the antenna kit described in the section Contents of the Antenna Kit , you must provide the
following tool to install the antenna on the router:

Open-ended wrench

Electric drill
NOTE : This list does not include the tools and equipment required to assemble and erect the tower, mast, or other structure you
intend to mount your antenna on.
Mounting the Antenna
NOTE : A clean, flat surface at least 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 in.) in area is required for mounting the antenna.
Follow these instructions to mount the antenna:
1. Mark the desired location where you plan to mount the antenna and create a hole through the surface The diameter of the
hole must be at least 0.75 in. (1.91 cm).
2. Thread the cables through the hole and insert the aluminum stud on the underside of the antenna into the hole. Ensure that
the foam gasket on the underside of the antenna sits flush against the mounting surface.
3. Inside the vehicle, place the rubber sealing washer around the stud. Then place the metal washer and the metal nut onto
the stud. Tighten the nut.
