•Place the antenna at the highest point of the
vessel and ensure that there are no
obstructions surrounding the antenna.
•In order to avoid communication interference,
ensure that the antenna is placed at least
0.5m away from other antennas and metal
objects.
•Avoid installing the antenna near the vessel’s
chimney, as the smoke and soot emitted by
the chimney can obstruct the signal level
achieved by the antenna.
•Install the antenna away from the vessel’s
heat sources and flammable gases.
•Survey the planned cable route and look for
any blocked passages. Consider alternate
routes to find the best available path. If
extension cables are needed, refer to the cable
configuration diagram. Always keep the cables
as short as possible to make sure that
minimum cable losses are achieved.
Note: Take advantage of any existing cable
channels e.g., wiring conduits to route the cables.
•Avoid running cables through components or
sharp apertures that may cause excessive
chafing. Doing so may erode the jacket and
break signal continuity. Also, avoid kinking,
pinching, or twisting a cable during a run.
When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:

10Revision 1.0
•Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable.
•Never run cables in a manner that
interferes with the driver's ability to
safely operate the vehicle.
•Tighten the connectors and ensure that
the cables don’t rattle loose.
•If you are installing an antenna for the first time
or unsure about how to install your antenna,
obtain the help of a professional installer.
•Carefully survey the installation site before
installation to locate secure handholds,
dangerous conditions and the safest and most
convenient placement for ladders if necessary.
•The antenna may not be used as a climbing or
pulling device.
•Considerations must be taken when mounting
the antenna that people do not hang or pull on
it.
•When installing your antenna, remember:
1. Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when there is lightning or thunder in the
area.
2. Wear shoes with rubber soles and
heels, protective clothing (long sleeve
shirt or jacket) and rubber gloves.
3. Avoid installation while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
4. Make sure that any loose-fitting jewelry
or clothing is secured and tie back long
hair as they can get caught in moving
parts during installation.
