The whip antenna provides a permanent installation with flexible installation options. The cable supplied with
the antenna is to the maximum specified length to avoid any loss of signal and maintain call quality. It is not
recommended to extend this cable further to avoid loss of dB beyond the specification.
The antenna should be attached in a location that
provides the clearest line of site to the sky without
obstruction or interference. Ideally the antenna
should be fitted on the bull bar of a vehicle, if
available as most bull bars already have a fitting and
hole for this type of antenna, if not, then a suitable
hole or fixing plate will be required.
“Ideally the antenna should be fitted on the
bull bar of a vehicle...”
To install the antenna you will need to;
1. Use an existing mounting hole or drill a hole that will enable the antenna connector to pass through
2. The hole size should not exceed the size of the hexagonal locking nut
3. Remove the hexagon locking nut from the base of the antenna
4. Feed the cable from the antenna through the hole until the antenna sits flush
5. Feed the hexagonal nut through the cable and tighten on the antenna to hold it firmly in place
6. Connect the cable to the communications device
