Installing the Outside Antenna
The antenna that communicates with the outside should be mounted on the outside of the
building—this is the preferred location and will give the best performance. Alternatively,
locating this antenna inside the building near a window will also work under certain
conditions.
IMPORTANT: The outside antenna must have a separation of at least 24
inches from all persons during normal operation.
Outdoor Installation
For best results, use a Wilson Yagi antenna that is compatible with the frequency of your
cellular service provider. A dual-band trucker antenna will also work. Mount the antenna as
high as possible on your building for optimum signal reception and transmission.
Follow the specific installation instructions included with the outside antenna. Lightning
protection is recommended for all outdoor antenna installations. Take extreme care to
ensure neither you nor the antenna come in contact with any electrical power lines. Ensure
there are three feet of clearance in all directions surrounding the antenna.
Alternate Installation
If you choose to install the outside antenna
indoors, select a location near a window or
glass door where you have the strongest
existing cell signal. (See the illustration on
page 5.) Follow the specific installation
instructions included with the antenna.
