•Place the antenna at the highest point
possible and ensure that there are not 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.
•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:

10 Revision 2.0
•Never pull on the cable connectors; pull
only on the cable.
•Cover connectors with insulation tape
before threading them through a hole.
•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 (such as powerlines
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 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.
