Setup
Antenna
To connect the included antenna:
1. Align the slots around the antenna’s connector with
the tabs on the antenna jack.
2. Press the antenna down over the jack and turn the
antenna’s base clockwise until it locks into place.
3. Mobile use requires an external antenna.
To connect
an external
antenna, follow
the installation
instructions
supplied with the
antenna. Always
use 50-ohm
coaxial cable,
such as RG-58
or RG-8 low-loss dielectric coaxial cable. You may also
need a BNC adapter.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when installing or
removing an outdoor antenna. If the antenna starts
to fall, let it go! It could contact overhead power
lines. If the antenna touches a power line, touching
the antenna, mast, cable, or guy wires can cause
electrocution and death. Call the power company
to remove the antenna. DO NOT attempt to do so
yourself.
