the bracket. Select the orientation for the bracket remembering that that integrated antennas are on the
side and to the back of the Altitude 300-2i

. Use the bracket as a template to mark the holes on the
ceiling. For each of the four plastic anchors supplied with the unit, drill 4.8 mm (3/16"} pilot holes, 24.5
mm (1") deep. If wall anchors are not being used drill 3.2 mm (1/8") holes, 1 inch (25.4 mm) deep.

two T-Bar fasteners that can be adjusted for a variety of T-Bar widths. There are a number of round
holes on the bracket that can be used for the T-Bar fasteners; use two that are convent for the required
orientation on the ceiling. The bracket is oriented on the T-Bar with so that the antennas face the desired
direction. Use the bracket to lightly mark where the T-Bar fasteners should be placed. Install the two
T-Bar fasteners on the T-Bar, see Figure 6: Installation On A Hanging Ceiling on page 15. Some ceilings
have ceiling tiles that hang down below the bottom of the T-Bar. Spacers are provided with the kit for
these types of tiles. The spaces go between the T-Bar fasteners and the bracket with the spacer's face
against the bracket, see Figure 7: Installation Of Optional Spacer on page 15. Mount the bracket and
make sure fasteners are tight and the bracket is secure. The Altitude 300-2
