B. Connect the antenna to the base.

Line up the round section at the bottom of the antenna with the round section on the mounting antenna. 
Make sure the sides with the teeth are facing each other. Insert the M5x19 screw into the base as shown. 
Screw it into the round section of the antenna to connect the antenna to the base. 

Mounting to a mast (not included)

To adjust the antenna’s position: Loosen the M5x19 screw slightly and move the antenna to the desired 
position. Then tighten the screw again.

and one of the U-bolts included in this package. Thread the coaxial cable through the U-bolt as shown 
here. IMPORTANT: If you’re not using the coaxial cable that came with this antenna, skip step 1.

2. Attach the clamp assemblies to the base. Find the other U-bolt, the four hex nuts, the two clamps, and 

the antenna base included in this package. 

  Insert each U-bolt into the base as shown here. Then position a clamp and two hex nuts on the end of 

each U-bolt as shown here.

3. Mount the base to the mast (not included).
  Slide the antenna clamp assembly over the mast, positioning the mast between the clamp and the 

antenna base. Position the antenna base as high as possible on the mast. Orient the base in the
