Mounting
Before putting the TAR in place, determine a suitable location considering
the criteria listed above. It is recommended to use the wall mounting
method if the optional strobe light accessory is used. The local rubber
antenna should be bent at 90° so the antenna points toward the ceiling. If
an external antenna is required it should be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with local and national electrical codes.
The 9 VDC power supply should be run against the wall and plugged into
a 120 VAC, 60 Hz outlet. Make sure the cable is protected against
walking on, tripping over or pinching the cord. Plug the low voltage end of
the cord into the power jack located at the rear of the TAR. Turn the
battery switch to the on position (see section 3-7).
