electrical codes. Also, no power can be connected at the SkyZhone unit until the
Chassis Safety Ground in properly installed.
• The SkyZhone access point must always be mounted with the top of the unit
horizontal and level.
• It is best to mount the SkyZhone access point to a metal structure. The metal
mounting brackets are designed to make good contact with the pole, thereby
assuring good quality connection to the grounded structure.

are inside the protective foam, beneath the flap at the top. Do not throw away
the foam.
