Getting Started
It is recommended that you setup the EZ-Bridge™system in a
single room to get acquainted with the operation of the units before in-
stalling outdoors. Connect 1 EZ-Bridge™ to your router, switch or com-
puter and just power up the other EZ-Bridge™. Make sure the anten-
nas are pointing away from each other for best results. After powering
up each unit, you should be able to communicate with each unit by typ-
ing it’s IP address into a standard browser.
DANGER! Avoid Powerlines!
You Can Be Killed!
When following the instructions in this guide to install the EZ-Bridge™,
take extreme care to avoid contact with overhead power lines, lights
and power circuits. Contact with power lines, lights or power circuits
may be fatal. We recommend to install EZ-Bridge™ no closer than 20
feet to any power lines.
Safety:
For your own protection, follow these safety rules.
▫
Perform as many functions as possible on the ground
▫
Do not attempt to install the antenna on a rainy, windy or
snowy day or if there is ice or snow accumulation at the install
site or if the site is wet.
▫
Make sure there are no people, pets, etc. below when you are
working on a roof or ladder.
▫
Watch out for any power lines which may be overhead, under-
ground or behind walls., keeping safely clear of them with the
antenna, ladders or any tools.

See appendix for FCC RF exposure guidelines
Recommended Tools:
Pliers, Adjustable Wrench, Screws for
mounting Wall Mount Bracket, Drill or Screwdriver for installing
wall mount bracket, sealant for sealing any holes.
NOTE:
You
should be familiar with using tools such as these before attempting in-
stallation of EZ-Bridge™. You should also be comfortable with working
on a ladder.
GROUNDING: Local building and electrical codes require that
the antenna be properly grounded. Improper installation may
seriously damage the equipment or building, as well as cause in-
jury or death to you. Run a ground wire 10AWG or bigger from
back of antenna to a good earth ground (Cold water pipe or metal
stake in ground)
.
