B RACKET -A NTENNA I NSTALLATION P ROCEDURE :
Step 1: Select a mounting location for the Antenna Bracket.
It is best to locate the antenna high on a wall, within line-of-sight of the
area where the receivers will be used. Do not mount the antenna behind steel
beams or other metal structures. Radio signals will generally pass through
non-metal structures. The antenna can be mounted on a wall, in a corner, or
behind a wooden beam. Antenna elements should be positioned vertically for
proper polarity and best coverage. If possible, avoid plac- ing the antenna
within four feet of steel beams or near structural steel elements. Metal
studs, duct work, and foil-backed insula- tion can absorb radio energy,
greatly reducing the range of the system.
Step 2: Use the antenna bracket as a template to mark the position of the
mounting holes.
Step 3: Attach the antenna bracket to the mounting surface. Use appro- priate
wall anchors (not included) if necessary. If you need to run the feedline
through a wall, a 1/2” hole is necessary to pass the connector through.

P ROCEDURE :
The Antenna Coax Feedline is a 20’ length of RG59 Coaxial Cable. The feedline
connects to the Antenna Connector on the assembly as shown in the figure on
page 2.
Step 1: Attach the Coax Feedline to the connector facing the wall. Use fingers
only to tighten. Arrange the Coax Feedline so that it exits the antenna at a
right angle.
Step 2: If this is not a conduit installation, use at least one of the nylon
cable clamps to support the weight of the cable.
Step 3: Attach the second cable clamp about 12” away from the first one,
maintaining a right angle between the feedline and the Antenna.
Step 4: Attach the other end of the Coax Feedline to the Antenna Con- nector
on the back of the transmitter. Use fingers only to tighten
Step 5: Extend antenna elements out to their full length for maximum range.
Note: Antenna may be used in collapsed state, but range will be reduced.
Notes: DO NOT bend the cable sharply at any point. Allow at least a 3” radius
for turns.
Up to 100’ of 75 Ω feedline can be added without excessive line loss. Be sure
to use the proper “F” connectors when addingon to the feedline. The feedline
can also be shortened and a new “F” connector installed, if necessary. Do not
coil up excess cable.
The feedline is categorized as Class II wiring. Thus, it may be (but is not
required to be) routed through metal conduit, but NOT with microphone cables
or AC power wiring.
