If the OUTPOST
®
Callbox is to be used outdoors it is imperative that
the entire antenna connection be sealed with seal tape to provide
proper operation and prevent voiding warranty.
Seal tape can be purchased at most Industrial Supply Stores, Harware
and Home Center Stores, or Electronic Supply Stores.
Regarless of the antenna used, it is always best to weatherproof the
antenna connection using seal tape.
NOTICE
Failure to follow these instructions will cause damage to the
product, prevent proper sealing of the enclosure and will void
the Manufacturers Warranty.
Applying Seal Tape:
1. Attach the antenna to the 50
Ω
BNC connector on the OUTPOST
®
Callbox enclosure.
2. Begin wrapping seal tape at the base of the antenna connector
such that it is sealed to the enclosure top.
3. Overlap the seal tape as you tightly wrap upward around the
connector and antenna. Continue to overlap seal tape around the
connector base, past the articulated portion of the antenna and
several inches up the thin, shiny section of the antenna.
