Figure 7. Recommended location of the spacers on the antenna
2 Use a duct tape or strap to fasten the spacer to your body with the
methods below.
Figure 8. Fastening the spacer with duct tape or strap
• Do not twist or coil the antenna because this will result in
antenna performance degradation. See Figure 4.
Figure 4. Handling the antenna
• To satisfy compliance with RF Exposure standards and
improve radio performance, use the spacers provided to
maintain a distance of 0.50 inch (1.27 cm) from your
body. Shown in Figure 5.
