Overview
Overview
The 3G-ANTM-OUT-LP antenna is a panel-mount omnidirectional antenna that operates in the 806 to
960 MHz and 1710 to 2170 MHz frequency bands, and is designed for use with Cisco 3G cellular
HWICs. The 3G-ANTM-OUT-LP antenna is compatible with Cisco 3G cellular products using a
threaded Neill-Concelman (TNC) Male connector.

Follow these guidelines to ensure the best possible performance:

OL-17930-01
Safety Instructions
Note The antenna must be mounted horizontally in order to maximize its omnidirectional
propagation characteristics. Mounting it vertically may noticeably decrease the antenna
range and overall performance.
•Wherever possible, mount the HWIC and antenna where the wireless devices would be within sight
and avoid physical obstructions. Barriers along the line of sight between tower and HWIC will
degrade the wireless radio signals.
•The density of the materials used in a building's construction determines the number of walls the
signal must pass through and still maintain adequate coverage. Consider the following before
choosing the location to install your antenna:
– Paper and vinyl walls have very little effect on signal penetration.
– Solid and precast concrete walls limit signal penetration to one or two walls without degrading
coverage.
– Concrete and wood block walls limit signal penetration to three or four walls.
– A signal can penetrate five or six walls constructed of drywall or wood.
– A thick metal wall or wire-mesh stucco walls causes signals to reflect back and cause poor
penetration.
•Avoid mounting the antenna next to a column or vertical support that could create a shadow zone
and reduce the coverage area.
•Keep the antenna away from reflective metal objects such as heating and air-conditioning ducts,
large ceiling trusses, building superstructures, and major power cabling runs. If necessary, use an
extension cable to relocate the antenna away from these obstructions.
Caution Install the HWIC and any antennas away from appliances that share the same frequency bands.
Microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and security monitors can temporarily interfere with wireless
performance.
Caution We recommend you avoid installing wireless antennas in or near rack-mounted installations that include
networking equipment and computer servers whose radiated noise emissions can severely degrade radio
performance.
Safety Instructions
Follow these safety instructions when installing your antenna.
Warning In order to comply with FCC radio frequency (RF) exposure limits, antennas should be located at a
minimum of 7.9 inches (20 cm) or more from the body of all persons. Statement 332

Safety Instructions
•Plan your installation procedure carefully and completely before you begin.
•If you are installing an antenna for the first time, for your own safety as well as that of others, seek
professional assistance. Consult your dealer, who can explain which mounting method to use for the
location where you intend to install the antenna.
•Choose your installation site with safety as well as performance in mind. Remember that electric
power cables and telephone lines look alike. For your safety, assume that any line is an electric
power line until determined otherwise.
•Call your local power company or building maintenance organization if you are unsure about cables
close to your mounting location.
•When installing your antenna, do not use a metal ladder. Do dress properly: shoes with rubber soles
and heels, rubber gloves, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket.
•If an accident or emergency occurs with the power lines, call for qualified emergency help
immediately.
Note ATM low profile antennas are assumed to be installed in a protected environment where lightning strikes
will not occur or will not otherwise damage the equipment. In those installations, lightning arrestors are
not deemed necessary.
Note If the antenna is used in an environment where a lightning strike near the antenna is possible,
consideration should be given to installing suitable lightning protection such as an arrestor or other
protective means.
