4. Rotate the antenna and cable above the board until the RF cable is oriented as shown below. Any other
orientation of antenna to the board will cause the components on the bottom of the antenna to interfere with
those on the top of the board.
5. Use the nylon hardware to mount the antenna to the board in 4 locations, as shown below.
6. Use the nylon stand-offs to affix the feet at the 4 corners of the board as shown below, with the screw on top
and the stand-off on the bottom. This will prevent components from shorting out on the surface below the board
if that surface is conductive.
7. Attach the USB cable to the 13-pin connector on the board. Make sure the side of the connector faces up (as
shown below), with the wires entering the connector as shown.
8. Attaching the USB “Y” Cable to the end of the USB cable to the board is optional. When attached, the black
USB end is connected to the host PC and the red end may optionally be connected to a second USB port (or a
USB charging plug) to provide extra DC power should a single DC power of the port on the PC host be
insufficient to power the module when the module is transmitting at its highest RF power levels. The default
settings do not require use of the USB “Y” cable.
