WARNING
To comply with FCC Rules this system must be professionally installed to
ensure compliance with the system’s Part 15 certification. It is the
responsibility of the professional installer to ensure that certified systems
be deployed within the United States or where FCC Rules apply. The use of
the amplifier or other equipment with any other antenna or in any other
configuration (such as co-located antennas transmitting the same
information) is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC Rules CFR47
Part 15.204.
Surveying the Antenna Site
Before beginning system installation, emphasis should be placed on system
planning. It is important that no large obstructions exist near the antenna, such
as retaining walls, chimneys, air-conditioning units or other antenna masts.
These types of objects can have an impact on the antenna system performance.
Plan to mount the antenna as high as possible. You will need enough mast to
elevate the antenna approximately 10-15 feet above the roof or above any
obstruction that might be in the antenna's signal path.
You will need to identify the location where the antenna cable will be routed. If
you run the antenna cable through the roof, a water-proof fitting will be required.
Consult a building contractor or licensed electrician to help you with the routing if
necessary. Take note of the length of the mast you will need and the type of
mounting hardware required. The amplified antenna kit is shipped with U-Bolt
mounting hardware which should be ideal for mounting the antenna and amplifier
to most types of mast. Also, make plans on how you are going to talk to the
person at the remote antenna while you are going through the antenna alignment
procedure. For example, cellular phones or walkie-talkies can be used.
