Antenna Installation
The antenna should be installed vertically always on a site with a good signal. After installation, please select the corresponding installation type in web GUI.

Note: do not let the front panel of products faces to walls if using embedded LoRa antennas.

Hotspot Installation
UG65 can be mounted to a wall or a pole. Before you start, make sure that your SIM card has been inserted, your antennas have been attached and all cables have been installed.

Wall Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket, bracket fixing screws, wall plugs, wall mounting screws and other required tools.

•  Align the mounting bracket horizontally to the desired position on the wall, use a marker pen to mark four mounting holes on the wall, and then remove the mounting bracket from the wall.
  Note: The connecting lines of adjacent points are at right angles.

•  Drill four holes with a depth of 32 mm by using your drill with a 6 mm drill bit on the positions you marked previously on the wall.

• Insert four wall plugs into the holes respectively.

• Mount the mounting bracket horizontally to the wall by fixing the wall mounting screws into the wall plugs.

•  Screw the bracket fixing screws to the back panel of the device, then hang the device to the mounting bracket on the wall.

Pole Mounting
Preparation: mounting bracket, bracket fixing screws, hose clamp and other required tools.

•  Loosen the hose clamp by turning the locking mechanism counter-clockwise.
•  Straighten out the hose clamp and slide it through the rectangular rings in the mounting bracket, wrap the hose clamp around the pole.
•  Use a screwdriver to tighten the locking mechanism by turning it clockwise.
• Screw the bracket fixing screws to the back panel of the device, then hang the device to the mounting bracket on the pole.
