To make a weatherproof antenna connection:

Gather the tools and materials to do the procedure.
Mastic tape
2. Ensure that the cable and connector is clean. Clean off oil, water, grease, and
dirt before you continue.
3. Attach the cable connector to the antenna connector, and then use pliers to
tighten the connection.
4. With a laptop running HotView Pro, make sure that the Firetide device works.
5. Wrap a layer of electrical tape (sticky side out) over the connector from the
end to approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) of cable. Overlap the tape by 40% with
each turn.
Note:
Wrap the electrical tape on a pencil or wooden dowel when you have little
clearance.
Note:
To make a strong watertight connection, keep a high level of tension in the
butyl mastic when you stretch it over the cable and connector.
6. Tightly wrap a layer of mastic tape over the electrical tape. Make a 40%
overlap on each turn. Start from the base of the unit to at least 2.5 cm (1
inch) of the cable.
