QMA Connection (APX8500/APX8500 HP Only)
APX8500 is using a quick disconnect connection called QMA. This does not require any tightening.
• Ensure there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable.
• Ensure that the collar of the antenna cable plug does not bind.
• Engage the QMA cable plug onto the jack, listening for a click to ensure proper engagement.
• Gently tug on the cable to ensure that it is engaged.
• To disengage, pull back on the cable plug’s collar and pull the cable straight off the jack.

Mobile Radio / DVR Antenna separation
To ensure interference-free performance when both the Mobile Radio and the DVR are active at
the same time, the two antennas must be mounted in such way as to provide 30dB minimum
antenna isolation.
Fixed DVRS Site Antennas
Mobile radio equipment is sometimes installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station
or as a fixed unit. In such cases the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements
in order to assure optimal performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards.
• The antennas must be mounted outside the building.
• Mount the antennas on a tower if at all possible.
• If the antennas are to be mounted on a building then it must be mounted on the roof.
• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site
in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional compliance
actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure
that exposure limits are not exceeded.
