2. INSTALLATION
2-1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection
N O T E
Before you start any action on installing the antenna
switch, thoroughly read through this manual. First
carefully inspect the cardboard carton and its con-
tents for physical damage. If damage is noticed, no-
tify your dealer immediately. Delay may infringe
carriers warranty conditions. Keep all packing for
possible future transportation!
Check carefully the serial number of the antenna switch with the Table of
Individual Data (Table 2-1). If you find any discrepancies notify your dealer
immediately to have your warranty information corrected.
Serial Number: ...................
BCD code: positive inverted

2-2. Place selection and mechanical mount
When selecting the mounting place have in mind the following consider-
ations:
* Keep the grounding length as short as practical.
* Minimize the coaxial cable length. Normally a place near the antennas area
(a bit longer common and control cables) would save length from multiple
antenna cables.
* Keep the highest frequency cables as short as possible even if for the
lower frequencies the cables become longer.
* The antenna switch design is suitable for outdoor mounting. Neverthe-
less, if you select (or make especially for it) a shady and dry place, the an-
tenna selector materials would age slowly, i.e. last longer.
