Additional Cable
Requirements
If the distance between the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit exceeds 35 feet,
you will need to purchase additional coaxial cable. You must use RG-6 coaxial
cable and connectors, which are rated for Outdoor Satellite TV use and can be
found at many home improvement and electronic stores.
For the best performance, purchase Wireless Extenders RG-6 extension
cables from our website or your retailer (see page 2). The total cable length
should not exceed 70 feet unless you also purchase an upgraded signal
antenna (page 2). A longer cable is helpful if it allows you to place the signal
antenna in a location where you measure stronger signal.
Caution: Before drilling any holes into a wall to run your cable, make sure
you know where existing electrical wiring is located. If you are not
careful, hitting wiring while drilling could cause an electrical shock
and severe the wire.
Routing the Coaxial Cable Alongside an Attic Pipe
To simply the effort needed to route the coaxial cable from the Signal Antenna to
the Base Unit, Wireless Extenders recommends the following procedure:
1) Locate a pipe which descends from the attic down to a location in or near the
room where signal coverage is desired.
2) Tie a weight to a pull string and lower the weight down alongside the pipe.
3) In the lower room, tie the pull-string onto one end of the cable.
4) Go back to the attic and gently pull up the string until the coaxial cable can
be grasped.
5) Connect the coaxial cable to the Signal Antenna.
Installing the Base
Unit
For the widest possible signal reception, it recommended that you install the
YX500-CEL Base Unit near the middle of a room or on an interior wall. This is
because the Base Unit uses an omni-directional antenna, which like a lantern
delivers the signal in a circular pattern around the antenna. If you decide to
install the Base Unit on or near an outside wall, we recommend purchasing a
Directional Base Unit Antenna (see page 2). This antenna will focus the signal
in towards the rooms.
The Base Unit can either be directly mounted on a wall or set on a furniture
piece (e.g., a bookshelf, desk, filing cabinet, end table etc.). The Base Unit
performs best when located at least 4 feet above the floor or at about the
