3.2 - Exterior Antenna
You may use either an omnidirectional antenna such as the SC-288W (at area with no obstructions)
or a directional Yagi antenna such as the SC-230W (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 provides the best signal to the building.
The exterior antenna and mast (if any) must be
mounted in a location that meets all of the following criteria:
• Best signal strength.
• Not colocated with other antennas or used in conjunction with other antennas.
• Away from all power lines.
• 6’ from lightning rod antennas.
• 24” from all persons.
These distances are general guidelines only; refer to the applicable building and electrical codes in
your area to determine local requirements.
