e) Antenna Mounting (optional)...

NOTE:

Antenna installation must be in compliance with all FCC regulations.

The proper antenna bracket mounting location is determined by several considerations. The
antenna bracket should be positioned as high on the utility pole as is possible. However,
under no circumstances should the top of the installed antenna mast be any closer than one
inch from the bottom of the Pole Top Mounting Bracket (see “Fig. 6: Antenna Mounting
Bracket Dimensions” on page 13). Be sure to ground the antenna bracket as shown using 4
AWG solid copper wire. The antenna cable provided by the factory is 35 feet in length.

It is also important to remember that the antenna MUST be mounted on the side of the
utility pole that faces the transmitter (see below)

Fig. 10: Antenna Mounting Orientation 

Refer to the installation sheet included with your antenna kit for further information
regarding cable connections and antenna trimming.
