Step-by-Step Guide for the Antenna Installation

1. Find a suitable position on the roof of your vehicle. Please ensure that you have selected the correct position suitable for the hole into the vehicle’s interior and that it is suitable for the cable entry and is clear of any obstructions. Cabinets and cupboards are usually a preference to ensure a tidy installation.
2. Drill a pilot hole from the ceiling to the roof.
3. Drill with a 20mm hole saw just enough to break the surface of the ceiling.
4. Drill from the roof down to get a straight and clean hole. Check the hole is straight by drilling one last time from inside
5. Clean the roof of the vehicle to prepare for the installation of the 5G antenna.
6. Place the router down (with the sticker intact) to ensure it’s straight. Remove the 3m sticker paper.

    • Step-by-Step Guide for Mounting the Router’s Docking Station
11. The SMA cable from the antenna is 0.5 meters long allowing sufficient distance to connect the antenna to the router. Fix the docking station with the 2 small screws.
12. Use the 2-meter 12-volt power cable that comes with the docking station. Plug the power plug into the docking station. As the distance to the battery may be longer than 2m you will need to extend a cable by crimping the cables.

Mount the Falcon router to the docking station

1. Mount the Falcon router on the Magnet on the docking station.
2. Plug in the USB power cable from the docking station into the router.
3. Connect the TS9 pins into the slots of the router.
