Location of Signal Antenna and Base Unit Antenna
It is recommended that the Signal Antenna and Base Unit Antenna have
approximately 15 feet of vertical separation. If the antennas are too close
together, the Install light on the Base Unit will be lit or flash red indicating a
problem (See Troubleshooting section). Place the Signal Antenna as high as
possible to capture the best signal.
Additional Cable Requirements
If the distance between the Signal Antenna and the Base Unit exceeds 35 feet
(YX500-PCS) or 50 feet (YX500-CEL or YX510-PCS-CEL), you will need to
purchase additional coaxial cable. You must use RG-6 coaxial cable and F
connectors which are rated for outdoor satellite TV use and can be found at many
home improvement and electronic stores.
For the best performance, purchase Wi-Ex RG-6 low-loss extension cables from
our website or your retailer (see page 4). The total cable length should not exceed
70 ft unless you also purchase an upgraded signal antenna (page 4). A longer
cable is helpful only if it allows you to place the signal antenna in a location where
you measure stronger signal.
Power Requirements
The Base Unit can be plugged into a standard 2-prong 110 VAC receptacle using
the included power supply. The power supply consumes less than 10W (less
than 0.2A).
