Antenna Installation Guidelines
For optimal performance, several guidelines should be followed in the installation of this
remote antenna.
These include:
• Mounting the antenna in the proximity to the nearest structure.
• For inside installations, remote antennas may be mounted in the proximity of an
available window, or routed to the outside if the signal strength is not great
enough.
• Mounted so the cable between meter and antenna will not be compromised or
damaged.
