2.1.1 Mounting a Base Station
Several features are included with the base station mounting hardware to make
installation easier as illustrated in Figure 3 below. First, when climbing up a tower, the
mount features a handle for the installer to carry or fasten the unit. Second, an
elevation gauge aids installations where the pole is already calibrated. Third, the pole-
mounting bracket is adjustable to allow anchoring of the unit to poles with different
diameters. Fourth, a metal safety ring is included near the connectors which may be
used to facilitate hoisting or lowering of the BTS during install or removal. Finally, the
external connectors are placed at the bottom of the unit to limit weather exposure.

cables should be plugged into the base station chassis and twisted to lock into place (as
