Connecting external devices

The SMA connector is sensitive to mechanical stress. Use the following
handling precautions. (Relevant for

step 1

 (RF) and 

step 2

 (GPS).

Always use a torque wrench and mount the cable end with 60 Ncm.

Do not stack adapters directly at the SMA connector. If you need to use
adapters (e.g: SMA to N), then always use a specific adapter cable
(R&S no. 4900.1700.00).

To select the correct connectors, refer to 

Chapter 5.2, "Rear panel view"

,

on page 25.

1. Connect the RF antenna to the RF IN connector (see 

Figure 5-2
