The pole for the antenna can be fixed either vertically or horizontally to the base and can be adjusted 
to suit the vehicle and environment. By adjusting the mounting location and antenna angle it may be 
possible to improve the signal strength of the vehicle-to-vehicle communication. 

RT-XLAN retaining strap 

For added safety, it is recommended that when installing the RT-XLAN for use on any moving vehicle, 
the RT-XLAN retaining strap must always be used.  (See Figure 4 below)
