If a basic OUTPOST
®
Callbox is to be used outdoors it is imperative that the entire
antenna connection be sealed with seal tape to provide proper operation and
prevent voiding warranty.
Seal tape can be purchased at most Industrial Supply Stores, Hardware and Home
Center Stores, or Electronic Supply Stores.
Regardless of the antenna used, it is always best to weatherproof the antenna
connection using seal tape.
NOTICE
Failure to follow these instructions will cause damage to the product,
prevent proper sealing of the enclosure and will
void the Manufacturers
Warranty.
Applying Seal Tape:
1. Attach the antenna to the 50
Ω
BNC connector on the OUTPOST
®
Callbox
enclosure.
2. Begin wrapping seal tape at the base of the antenna connector such that it is
sealed to the enclosure top.
3. Overlap the seal tape as you tightly wrap upward around the connector and
antenna. Continue to overlap seal tape around the connector base, past the
articulated portion of the antenna and several inches up the thin, shiny section
of the antenna.
