Place the bat box away from power lines, outdoor lights and roads if possible. In a tree is not preferred. Keep the box at least 12 feet above the ground. Here is some information about setting up a bat house that may help. They like houses that receive sun light to warm the box during the day.

Here are two links to information on bat house installations. After looking them over if you have questions, get in touch.
