3. Antenna Mounting Precautions
• Place the antenna at the highest
point and ensure that there aren't
any surrounding obstructions to 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 a
chimney, as the smoke and soot
emitted by the chimney can
obstruct the signal level achieved by
the antenna.
• Install the antenna away from heat
sources and flammable gases.
4. Cable Routing
• Survey the planned cable route and
look for any blocked passages.
Consider alternate routes to find the
best available path. 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.
•Use cable ties to secure the antenna
cables.
When handling the antenna cables, it is
essential you follow these basic rules:
• Never pull on the cable connectors;
pull only on the cable.
• Tighten the connectors and ensure
that the cables do not rattle loose.
5. Safety
• 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 (such
as power lines and weak roofs) 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 near power lines as they
can electrocute you.
2. Do not install on a wet or windy day or
when there is lighting or thunder in the
area.
3. Wear shoes with rubber soles and
heels, protective clothing (long sleeve
shirt or jacket) and rubber gloves.
4. Avoid installation while under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
5. Make sure that any loose-fitting
jewellery or clothing is secured and tie
back long hair as they can get caught in
moving parts during installation.
6. If the antenna assembly starts to fall,
get away from it and let it fall to avoid
harming yourself.
• When drilling, remember;
1. Use safety goggles when drilling the
holes.
2. Avoid using bits that are dull, bent or
damaged.
3. Be aware of where your fingers are in
relation to the drill bit when using the
drilling machine.
4. To stop the drilling machine, let the drill
chuck come to a complete stop on its
own. Do not grasp the chuck in an
attempt to stop the drill bit.
5. Avoid awkward hand positions where
a sudden slip could cause a hand to
move into the drill bit or cutting tool.
