Antenna Connector
The antenna radiates radio signals. Before using the 1 Series
OUTPOST
®
Callbox, make sure the antenna is securely
fastened into the 50Ω BNC antenna connector. If the
OUTPOST
®
is to be used outdoors, see page 9 for instructions
on properly sealing the antenna connector.
RF Mating Connectors
An internal cable from the antenna connector is terminated into
an SMB style connector for connection to the radio circuit
board.
Captive Plastic Case Screws
A captive plastic case screw is located in each corner of the
case front. These four (4) screws are used to secure the case
front containing the radio, to the case back that contains the
batteries.
Charge Jumper
The charge jumper can be set to trickle charge re-chargeable
backup batteries (see “Using Re-chargeable Batteries for
Battery Back-up” on page 4).
12 VDC Input Connector
The 6-pin, plarized connector allows connection of an external
+12 VDC input.
Speaker Connector
The internal speaker is connected to the radio printed circuit
board with a polarized connector.
On/PTT Connector
The ON/PTT switch is connected to the radio printed circuit
board with a polarized connector.
Pre-Drilled Mounting Holes
Mounting holes located in the 4 corners of the case back are
pre-drilled for mounting to a plate, wall or post. Once mounted,
the case front is secured to the case back through these same
threaded holes.
RJ-11 Program Cable Connector
An RJ-11 style connector is used to connect the cable from the
PC programmer to the radio.
Program Button
A small, momentary pushbutton is used for field programming
the OUTPOST
®
Callbox.

installation of 6 D-cell Alkaline or rechargable batteries. Refer
to the diagram below, or the labels beneath the cells, for correct
installation of the batteries.
