Installing the Adapter Bracket
Tools and Equipment Required
You will need the following tools and equipment in order to mount the adapter bracket on a hard ceiling:
• A drill and appropriate drill bit
• A Phillips or standard screwdriver (depending on the fasteners you intend to use)
• Appropriate fastener hardware
• A pencil or pen
• A ladder high enough to reach the mounting location
Follow these steps to install the adapter bracket on a hard ceiling:
Step 1 Determine the location at which you intend to install the adapter bracket.
Note Make sure that the location you selected has adequate space for the antenna and cable routing.
Step 2 Use a pencil or pen to mark the positions of the mounting bracket mounting slots.
a. The distance between the holes is 3 inches (7.62 centimeters).
b. You can also use the adapter bracket as a template.
Step 3 Use a drill with the appropriate size drill bit to drill two holes at the positions you marked.
Step 4 Use a screwdriver to start the fasteners into the holes. Do not tighten; leave about 1/8 inch (.317
centimeters).
Step 5 (Optional) If you need to remove a portion of the adapter bracket to resize it for the antenna you are
installing, do it before proceeding to Step 6. See the “Installing the Antenna” section on page 4 for the
procedure.
Step 6 Align the large end of the adapter bracket mounting keyholes with the fasteners.
Step 7 Push the adapter bracket into place over the mounting screws, then slide the bracket so that the mounting
fasteners are inside the small end of the keyholes.
Step 8 Use a screwdriver to tighten the mounting fasteners.
Step 9 Install the antenna.
