• Keep the RF cable as short as possible. Cut the excess cable during an
installation. Do not wrap it up. Excess cable adds unnecessary loss to the
signal.
• Ensure the antenna is in a vertical position during operation.
• Use proper RF connectors. Use a straight SMA connector when using a BBX
with an internal wireless modem. (Refer to the SMA Connector Assembly
documentation provided)
WARNING
Improper installation of the SMA connector can cause damage to the mating SMA
connector on the BBX unit.
• Avoid sharp bends and moving objects in the coaxial cable path.
• Position the antenna away from fuel caps.
• Position the antenna such that there is separation from other antennas (e.g.
AM/FM Radio, cellular etc.).
• Follow the antenna manufacturer's guidelines exactly when installing
antennas.
WARNING
The BBX, when equipped with an internal modem, must be used with a Mentor
authorized antenna in order to comply with FCC regulations. Improper antenna
selection or positioning may result in excessive RF exposure which can harm the
user.
