Mounting the Appropriate Communications Antenna
Depending upon the type of modem you are using for
communications with your R450 DC, refer to the following
instructions for installing the appropriate antenna.
Mounting the GPRS or Wi-Fi Antenna
This step is only for kits using a GPRS modem and antenna or Wi-
Fi modem and antenna. If you are using an Ethernet modem, refer
to "Connecting the Ethernet Cable" on page 35.
Mounting the GPRS or Wi-Fi antenna involves attaching the
horizontal crossbar to the pole prior to mounting the antenna.
Attaching the Horizontal Crossbar
WARNING: Antenna contact with high voltage wires may
result in death. Watch for overhead electric power lines
when erecting the antenna and mast.
