INITIAL
SETUP
1.
Remove
the
electronics
package
from
the
storage
case.
2.
Remove
the
antenna
assembly
and
swivel
mount
from
the
storage
case.
3.
Attach
the
swivel
mount
to
the
antenna.
A.
On
the
rear
of
the
antenna,
note
the
5/8"
male
thread
below
the
display.
Locate
the
two
V
shaped
slots.
Note
that
they
are
90o
apart
and
remember
where
they
are.
B.
Note
the
nylon
thumbscrew
on
the
swivel
assembly.
Back
it
out
far
enough
so
it
does
not
protrude
into
the
5/8"
female
thread.
C.
Screw
the
swivel
far
enough
onto
the
antenna
so
that
the
thumbscrew
can
be
seated
in
one
of
the
slots.
The
slots
allow
the
user
to
select
either
vertical
or
horizontal
polarity
and
to
lock
the
antenna
to
keep
it
from
rotating.
Line
up
the
thumbscrew
with
either
one
of
the
slots
and
tighten
it
down.
D.
Do
not
disassemble
the
swivel
with
the
thumbscrew
tightened.
It
must
be
loosened.
4.
Connect
a
set
of
coaxial
cables
to
the
antenna.
The
coaxial
cable
assembly
is
built
with
male
and
female
connectors
to
prevent
incorrect
connection
of
antenna
elements.
5.
Connect
the
meter
cable
to
the
electronics
package
and
to
the
meter
display
box
on
the
antenna.
Also
connect
the
coaxial
cables
to
the
electronic
package.
6.
Remove
the
extendible
telescoping
antenna
handle
from
the
storage
case.
It
is
stored
in
the
foam
padding
in
the
lid.
7.
Extend
the
handle
to
a
convenient
length,
usually
about
3
feet.
To
do
so,
loosen
the
knurled
lock
rings
by
twisting
them
to
the
right
and
slide
out
the
sections
one
at
a
time,
starting
with
the
bottom
section.
Do
not
pull
the
telescoping
sections
out
too
far
or
with
too
much
force
or
they
may
bind
and
make
it
hard
to
collapse
the
handle.
Tighten
the
lock
rings
firmly
by
hand.
Insert
the
bayonet
fitting
on
the
antenna
swivel
mount
into
the
socket
on
the
end
of
the
handle.
The
fitting
is
a
twist
lock
type,
and
will
click
into
place
when
secure.
To
remove,
push
down
and
twist
the
opposite
direction.
