Priortoattachingthemastbrackettotheantennabracket,youmustfirstdeterminewhichendof
theantennabracketyouwillattachtotheantenna.
Determinewhich
endoftheantennabrackettoattachtotheantennaasfollows:
1. Placetheantennasothatthesidewithscrewholesisfacingup.
2. Usethepolarizationlabelontheupperleftcorneroftheantennatoorienttheantennawith
thecorrectpolarization.
3. Situatetheantennabracketagainsttheantenna
sothattheendagainsttheantennapivotsin
thesameplaneasthedesiredpolarization.Forexample,ifusingverticalpolarization,this
antennabracketendshouldpivotupanddown.Ifusinghorizontalpolarization,thisantenna
bracketendshouldpivotfromside‐to‐side.
