Attach the omnidirectional antennas to the con-
nectors on the base of the SkyExtender DualBand

the socket.

Plug in adapter

As the device  powers up, check the LEDs on the 
base of the SkyExtender.  When both LED lights are 
lit and steady, the device  is successfully connected 
to the network.

Connect the photocell adapter to the photocell 
socket then reconnect the photocell by plugging 
it into the receptacle on top of the adapter. Make 
sure the excess photocell adapter cable is tightly 
wrapped and secured—the space under the 
mount stand will accommodate the coiled cable.
