When installing your antenna, remember:
Þ Do not use a metal ladder.
Þ Do not work on a wet or windy day.
Þ Dress properly - shoes with rubber soles and heels, rubber gloves,
long sleeve shirt or jacket.

If the assembly starts to drop, get away from it and let it fall.
Remember, the antenna, mast, cable, and metal guy wires are all
excellent conductors of electrical current. Even the slightest touch of
any of these parts to a power line completes an electrical path through
the antennas and the installer.

Mounting Antenna
The antenna should be mounted higher than the roof of the building it is
mounted on. It is preferable that it be mounted higher than other
obstructions in the immediate area. In the case of a utility pole, mount the
antenna part way up the utility pole. If there are other cables or wires
running vertically on the utility pole, the vertical part of the antenna should
be between 40 in. (1.02 m) and 50 in. (1.27 m) away from the vertical
wires/conduit.

To mount the antenna, perform the following procedure:
1. Attach the antenna onto a 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) to 3/4 in. (19.05 mm) pipe
or up to 1-3/8 in. (34.925 mm) OD tubing using the U-bolt,
lockwashers, and hex nuts. The pipe or mast should be rigidly
supported so that it does not twist or turn.

supported so that it does not twist or turn.
2. Secure the cable to the mounting mast every few feet with strap or
plastic tape to avoid strain on cable connections.
3. Remove any unnecessary slack from the coaxial cable and use the
supplied field attachable connector to connect the end of the cable to
the antenna connector of the Radio Controller.

Installation instructions are the same for the RL-854PR as for the RL-854.
