Install the Remote Antenna Mount on the Ceiling
To connect the Remote Antenna Mount to the ceiling, refer to the installation diagram from the ship-
ping box while following these steps:
1. Attach the shorter end of the screw to the center hole on the back of the Antenna Mount.
2. Remove the designated ceiling tile.
3. Using the template, drill holes in the ceiling tile.
4. Replace the ceiling tile.
5. Remove a ceiling tile adjacent to the newly drilled tile for access purposes.
6. Feed the Antenna Mount cable through the larger hole in the ceiling tile until the Antenna Mount
is flush with the ceiling. The screw should now be visible above the ceiling tile (through the second
hole).
7. Place the triangular plate above the ceiling tile with the screw aligned through the plate.
8. Drop the washer onto the screw and tighten the bolt.
The Antenna Mount is now connected to the ceiling.
9. Replace the adjacent tile.
