Mounting Tips for Running Outside
Antenna Cable
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna on the roof of your
building, we have found that it is easiest to run your cable
underneath the down side of your roof’s flashing . If you have
satellite TV service installed at your home or office, you may be
able to follow the same route as the satellite TV cables that are
already running from outside of your building to the inside . After
routing the cable, we recommend sealing any areas where the
cable passes into the building with silicone, cable bushings or
other waterproof sealant to keep your installation from leaking .
If you are mounting the Outside Antenna to the outside wall of
your home or building, the simplest way is to run the cable on
the outside of the wall and attach it to the exterior of your home
or office . Then drill a hole through the wall where you want the
cable to appear on the inside of the building . Before drilling, make
sure that there are no electrical outlets, sewer or water pipes, or
electrical wiring in the wall that you are about to drill through as
this could potentially harm you or damage the building .
After drilling the required hole, run the cable through and seal
it with silicone, cable bushings or other waterproof sealant to
Selecting a Direction for the Outside Antenna
Select a location on the roof of the building to install the Outside
Antenna . Use a cell phone in test mode to find the strongest signal
from the cell tower . See below for more information . To get the
strongest signal possible, it is very important to set up your Outside
Antenna properly . The Inside and the Outside Antenna must be
mounted in such a way that they are able to pick up the best possible
cell signal on the outside of the building and provide the best possible
signal on the inside of the building . Mount the Outside Antenna as
high as possible facing the cell tower in an area with the best possible
signal coverage .
Note:
Never point the front of a directional antenna
toward the Inside Antenna. See Figures 1 & 2 on page 12.
