ANTENNA
1. To install the antenna
-Connect the antenna cable into the WS ANT socket located on the left side of the unit.
Place and adjust the antenna in a position to acquire signals from the satellite. (Refer to
page 5~6 for details on how to position and angle the antenna for best possible
reception.) If a line of site is obstructed, the receiver may not receive signals.
-As the signal reception can be weakened by window glass, etc., put the antenna
outdoors when reception is poor.
-To minimize noise, keep the AC/DC adapter 30cm or more from the antenna or the
antenna cable.
-The waterproof cover is not intended to leave out in an extreme weather condition.
-Do not set up the antenna in confined places, such as a bookcase or a cabinet.
2. To attach the antenna
The antenna can be used, attached onto the back of the unit.
-Remove the antenna cover by pushing it up while pressing the ANTENNA PUSH button
located in the back panel of the unit.
Cautions!
To prevent battery electrolyte leakage, which may cause injury and damage to human
body or the unit, the following precautions should be taken :
-All batteries must be installed with the proper polarity. (See the diagram on the
battery cover)
-Do not mix old and new batteries together, or mix different types of batteries.
-Remove the batteries from the unit when they are not to be used for a long time.
-Discharged batteries must be disposed of in a safe manner that complies with all
applicable laws.
