If an omni-directional antenna is to be attached directly on the modem, install the
antenna by screwing it directly onto the SMA connector on the modem. If possible,
torque the antenna to 8.0 +/- 1.0 inch-pounds. If it is not possible to torque the
antenna connector using a torque wrench, tighten the antenna by hand as tightly as
possible.
