Thank you for purchasing this RFI antenna. This antenna provides an innovative and future proof solution for 4G / 3G and 2G
networks. It incorporates two separately fed ultra wideband elements in a single housing which provide Multiple Input/Multiple
Output (MIMO) for the networks of today and tomorrow.
The weatherproof housing is designed for pole or wall mounting and comes with dual 10m low loss cables (LMR195) terminated
with SMA male connectors.
Before assembling and installing your antenna, please check your installation kit includes all the following components.
CHECK COMPONENTS IN THE ANTENNA PACKAGE
4 x M6 x 12mm bolts 2 x M6 Nuts 1 x M6 x 60mm U-bolt

1. Connect the antenna cables (terminated with SMA type connectors) to 4G data card or modem. For devices using other
connector types, 2 x patch leads (optional / not included) will be required to connect the antenna (SMA) to the device (phone
or data card). Please contact your retail or network provider for availability.
2. Connect the data card or modem to your computer and follow the manufactures instructions to open the management software
so that the screen shows the received signal strength. You may need to turn off your system and power up again after you have
connected the antenna.
Follow the same instructions as for pole mounting except mount pole bracket to wall using appropriate fixing screws.
IMPORTANT: Some data cards or modems will only detect the connector of an external antenna on power up.
NOTE: Signal strength may be displayed either graphically with bars where more bars mean stronger signal
strength or as a signal level value in dBm where the closer to 0 (zero), the better. For example, a signal level of
-75dBm is better than a signal level of -85dBm.
1. Ensure all bolts & nuts are tight.
2. Ensure the cables are routed in a safe manner and is not a future hazard around the home or workplace.
3. Ensure all cable connection to the device are tight.
