Locate the center of a stud.
ATTENTION:
Do not mount the booster antenna near the edge of a
stud. Make sure you mount it on the center of a stud.

Hold the mounting bracket and pipe assembly in a position so that the center
line is centered on a stud or solid wood surface.

If you are mounting the booster antenna on a sloped or vertical surface, use a
