Installation Guide
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 will place the
repeater antenna somewhere else (outdoors or
indoors) 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 59 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 11a. Examples of
Correct Exterior Magnetic Mount Antenna
Orientation” on page 23 and “Figure 11b.
Examples of Incorrect Exterior Magnetic
Mount Antenna Orientation” on page 23).
•
Make sure the exterior antenna magnetic
mount is installed and positioned away from
obstructions like metal structures, concrete
walls or any other objects that may cause
signal shielding.
