NOTE:
NOTE:
Installation of the outdoor antenna is very
important for communication range and
quality. Be sure to follow the following
procedures.
1. The tops of the base unit should be
matched with the marks on the
antenna, as illustrated in Figure 1.
Use the screw driver to screw
the antenna tight.
2. Lock the 6 ground planes with the
base part as illustrated in Figure 2.
Long and short ground planes
should be alternately arranged.

3. Assemble cable jack with the base part
as illustrated in Figure 3.
4. Find a pole which is over 5 M long and
22~39 mm in diameter and connect it
with the base tube as indicated in
Figure 4.
A bamboo pole is preferred if a
metal one is used, be sure it is
isolated.
5. Put up the pole and make a loop with
the cable cord. The loop which is 15 cm
in diameter is made to prevent water
from going down into the base unit (as

NOTES
(1) Make sure that the cable is tied to the cable connector in order to
maintain the radio frequency transmission performance.
(2) The ground plane should be at least 3 meters above the ground.
(3) No obstruction can be present within 3 meters from the antenna (as
shown in Fig 7~9).
(4) Straighten the remaining cable.
(5) Bending cable cord will increase loss of transmission power.
(6) Make a loop before pulling the cable into the house. The loop can
prevent rain from going into the house.
(7) The higher the antenna is installed the better the communication will
be.
(8) Keep the antenna and cable from high-voltage sources to avoid
electric shocks. Don't install the antenna in the rain to avoid
thunder striking.
