Align the subscriber Transceiver antenna as described above, adjusting for maximum signal
amplitude.
2.2 Cable Connection and Grounding
Attach the single RG-6 coaxial cable to the F connector on the rear of the Subscriber Transceiver.
See Figure F2. Waterproof the connection using a suitable method such as taping with Scotch #88.
Be sure to leave sufficient slack to allow the antenna to be oriented and that the cable runs directly
downward from the connector to avoid water running down the cable and into the F connection.
Route the coaxial cable to the building entry point utilizing UV-resistant tie-wraps and staples or
cable clamps as required.
UV-rated cable should be used outdoors, and UV- or Riser-rated cable can be used indoors. In
some buildings, a Plenum-rated or riser-rated cable is required. Consult the local codes.
Mount the grounding device (e.g. Radio Shack 15-909C in Figure 3-4) as near as practicable to the
point of cable entry to the structure. Connect the grounding device to a suitable “grounding
electrode”.

Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable from the Subscriber Transceiver to the grounding
device and waterproof all outdoor F connectors as described above.
