2.5 Antenna Installation
2.5.1 Outdoor Antenna
Select a site for your outdoor antenna, making sure you have enough signal strength
at that location. Using coax cable, connect the antenna to the bi-directional
amplifier. If you are using a directional antenna such as a Yagi type, the antenna
should be installed so that it is in line of sight of the base station. Then, align the
directional antenna toward that direction, and secure the antenna using provided
mounting hardware.
Use of a lightning arrester is highly recommended. By installing a lightning
arrester between the outside antenna and the bi-directional amplifier, you can
protect the bi-directional amplifier unit from electrical surge from lightning.
2.5.2 Indoor Antenna
Install the indoor antenna at a convenient location. It should be free of metallic
obstruction in order to have an effective coverage. Depending on the circumstance
of the installation, either one or a combination of following antennas can be used:
Ceiling mount patch antenna, Wall mount patch antenna, Corner reflector
