3.2 - Exterior Antenna

You may use either an omnidirectional antenna

such as the CM288-W (flat area with no obstruc-

tions) or a directional Yagi antenna such as the

CM230-W (to point directly at the tower). The

omnidirectional antenna receives and transmits

signals over a horizontal 360-degree circle while

the Yagi antenna receives and transmits signals

over a focused area and must be aimed directly

(line of sight) toward the cellular tower that pro-

vides the best signal to the building.

The exterior antenna and mast (if any) must be

mounted in a location that meets all of the follow-

ing criteria:

• Best signal strength.
