Make certain that the large washer supplied with the antenna is tightly secured
between the top cap of the weathershield and the whip or quick disconnect.
Otherwise, water will leak into the antenna and cause damage.

If you are using a quick disconnect, clean it frequently.
7.
Frequently check all connections for corrosion. Corrosion will change the SWR and
lower the performance of the antenna system. Frequently check for loose
connections.
