Installing External Antenna Using the
Antenna/Magnetic Mount/RF Cable Kit
Accessory
If as an outcome of the RF Coverage Test Field,
(please refer to “Pre-Installation Considerations”
on page 10) you decide that you need to place an
antenna away from the repeater device, you
should then use the Antenna/Magnetic Mount and
RF Cable accessory P/N HKKN4022.
Note:
Always use Motorola approved accessories
in order to assure performance and safety.
Please refer to “Accessories” on page 61 for
details.
Magnetic Mount Kit Installation
•
Ideally the external antenna magnetic mount
should be mounted on a metal surface or
other area with similar material that allows the
mount magnet to stick securely.
•
When installing the exterior antenna into the
magnetic mount, make sure the antenna is
always in a vertical orientation (either straight
up or straight down, 90 ° to ground). Avoid
side or skewed antenna orientations as these
positions can affect repeater performance
(See examples in “Figure 11b. Examples of
Correct Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna
Orientation” on page 22 and “Figure 11c.
Examples of Incorrect Exterior Magnetic
Mount Antenna Orientation” on page 22).
