Mount to a RocketDish Antenna

This section applies only to the airFiber AF-4X and AF-5X

radios.

Note: If you are mounting the AF-4X or AF-5X on

a RocketDish equipped with the AF-5G-OMT-S45

Conversion Kit, the Universal Bracket is not needed.

Refer instead to the Mount to an airFiber X Antenna

section for instructions.

The RocketDish RD-5G30 antenna is shown in this section:

1. Position the Universal Bracket over the back of the

airFiber radio with the bracket clips over the radio

mounting tabs.

2. Push the bracket onto the airFiber radio until it locks in

place.

3. Attach the airFiber radio to the RocketDish mounting

bracket.

a. Align the mounting tabs on the Universal Bracket

with the RocketDish mounting bracket.

b. Slide the airFiber radio down to lock it into place.

Mount the External GPS Antenna

Locate a mounting point that has a clear view to the

sky, and is above and as far away as possible from the
