access cover.
Place the template towards the edge of the access cover and mark the center
point.
Check that there is nothing on the inside surface of the access cover that
could be damaged when a hole is drilled in the centre-punched location.
NOTE: Avoid blocking the information labels.
NOTE: If an antenna by another company is already mounted, DO NOT remove
it.
Step 2
Drill a 13 mm (1/2″) hole at the centre-punched mark. Remove all burrs after
drilling.
Step 3
Degrease/clean the surface where the antenna will be mounted with a metal
cleaner or similar before fitting the antenna.
