For building mounts, ensure the surface to which the mounting bracket will be 
attached is flat and vertical (use a level).  Install the bracket using four lag screws, 
with washers.  There are two center holes that can be used to mount the bracket 
onto a 2x4 stud.  Make sure the surface to which the bracket is attaching is 
structurally sound and can withstand the specified wind loading.

Figure 5 Mounting the antenna on a building structure. 

Once the antenna is mounted, it has to be aligned in both the azimuth and 
elevation planes.  The elevation alignment is accomplished by loosening the two 
bolts attached to the mounting bracket, as shown in Figure 6, and slanting the pole 
until the antenna is aligned in elevation towards the remote terminal.  The azimuth 
alignment is achieved by loosening the two bolts on the antenna bracket, and 
rotating the antenna until alignment is achieved.
