Mount the Antenna
Mount the Antenna
Follow these steps to first remove the radome and foam
shipping restraint, and then mount the antenna to the
mounting surface.
1. Remove the three #10-32 screws securing the radome
to the baseplate. Carefully lift the radome straight up
until clear of the antenna assembly and set it aside in a
safe place. If you keep the radome topside, secure it
with a lanyard to prevent it from falling overboard.
Note: Due to the snug fit, some contact between the
radome’s sealing gasket and the antenna mechanism is
normal during radome removal and installation.

2. Remove the foam shipping restraint and save it for
future use.

CAUTION
Once you have removed the restraint, handle
the antenna carefully, as its internal assembly
will rotate freely. Whenever you need to tilt the
antenna, be sure to guard against having the
internal assembly swinging around and
potentially crushing your fingers.
IMPORTANT!
Do not remove the tie-wraps securing the Wi-Fi and
cellular antennas to the antenna frame. These are
permanent and are not shipping restraints.
