3.1.2 Mount Base Station on Wall
When you have found the best location for transmission and reception, unplug the
AC power and mount the base station and antenna as follows.
 Hold the base station against the wall at the desired
mounting location, with its door open, and mark the
wall through the four screw holes on the back of the
cabinet, shown in Figure 13.
 Set the base station down and drill four
3
/
16
inch
(4.76mm) holes in the wall at the marked spots.
 Insert the enclosed #6 screw anchors into the holes.
 Screw the four enclosed screws into the anchors, leaving
the screw heads
1
/
8
inch (3.2 mm) away from the wall.
 Mount the base station on the wall by placing the four
screw holes in the back of the base station over the four
screws, and sliding the base station downward.
 Connect the base station power adapter cable to the
adapter as you did for the battery charger, as shown in
Figure 9, page 9. For use outside the United States, see
230VAC adapter connections shown in Figure 10, page 10.
 Connect the two wires at the other end of the cable to J16 on the top-left of the
audio circuit board in the base station.
 Plug the adapter into the electrical outlet nearest the base station.
3.1.3 Install Remote Antenna Kit (if needed)
The remote antenna kit allows one of the antennas to be mounted up to 30 feet
(9.14 meters) from the base station for improved coverage. With the extension cable
and mounting bracket, an antenna can be mounted inside a window or outside to
extend coverage for speed team operation. Install the remote antenna kit as follows.
 Lay out the enclosed 30 foot (9.14 meter) antenna cable, with its female connector
near the base station and its male connector at the proposed area where the
antenna will be mounted. Bend and align the cable to the desired position.
 Remove electrical power from the base station.
 Remove (unscrew) the antenna from the top of the base station.
 Screw the female antenna cable connector onto the base station antenna connector
where the antenna was removed.
Note: To minimize stress on the connector, bend the cable as required to line it up
with the base station antenna connector before connecting it.
 Screw the antenna onto the male connector at the other end of the antenna cable.
 Hold the enclosed antenna mounting bracket against the wall at the desired
mounting location and mark the wall through the two screw holes in the bracket.
It may be necessary to mount the antenna high enough to avoid a safety hazard or
possible damage to the antenna.
 Remove the bracket from the wall and drill two
3
/
16
inch (4.76mm) holes in the wall
at the marked spots.
 Insert the enclosed screw anchors into the holes.
 Place the enclosed screws through the holes in the bracket and screw them into the
two screw anchors to secure the bracket to the wall.
