. Antenna Mounting Options There are three possible mounting options for the outdoor antenna, and the antenna mounting location you have chosen may determine which mounting methods you can use: Wall Mount: Mounting the antenna directly on the side of a home or building. Roof Mount: Mounting the antenna on the roof of a home or building. Mast Mount: Mounting the antenna on a mast or pole, such as an existing satel- lite TV dish mast, an existing TV antenna mast, or other mast or pole, not ex-

MOUNTING HOLES The antenna mounting bracket should be oriented in a vertical position as shown, and mounted directly to the building or home using the provided #10 screws. Once you have determined a suitable mounting location, use the mounting bracket as a template and mark the mounting surface with the location of the four screw holes in the mounting bracket. Then, using a 3/32 in. drill bit, drill pilot holes for the screws. It may be necessary to fill the holes with a small amount of roo

Slide one of the U-bolts through the holes at the top of the mounting bracket. Then slide one of the mounting brackets over the two legs of the U-bolt. Next, screw the hex nuts on each leg until they are snug. Do not yet tighten the hex nuts beyond finger tight. Repeat this procedure with the other U-bolt. When all the hex nuts are snug, verify that the antenna is facing the correct direction and begin tightening each hex nut with a 3/8” wrench. Turn each hex nut one-half turn and then move
