Installing the Antenna
Mounting on a Vertical Surface
Follow these steps to mount your antenna on a vertical surface. This procedure describes mounting the
antenna on a drywall surface. If you are mounting the antenna on any other type of surface, your
procedure may vary slightly.
Step 1
Determine the location in which you will mount the antenna.
Step 2
Use the antenna as a template to mark the locations of the four mounting holes with a pencil.
Step 3
Use a drill and 3/16-in. (4.8 mm) drill bit to drill four holes at the locations you marked in Step 2.
Step 4
Start a plastic anchor into each hole.
Step 5
Use a mallet or small hammer to seat the anchors into the wall.
Step 6
Align the antenna’s mounting holes with the anchors.
Caution
The back of the antenna has an orientation marking. Make sure the antenna is mounted according to the
marking. If the antenna is not mounted properly, degraded performance could result.
Step 7
Put a screw cap washer onto a #8 screw and start the screw into each antenna mounting hole.
Step 8
Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the antenna to the wall. Do not overtighten.
Step 9
Install the screw caps onto the screw cap washers.
