Antenna Connector
The antenna radiates radio signals. Before using the
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 8 for
instructions on properly sealing the antenna connector.
RF Mating Connectors
An internal cable from the antenna connector is
terminated into a phono 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 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.
Sensor Turn-On Jumper
The Sensor Turn-On jumper can be set to turn-on the
radio whenever the Sensor Input is pulled low.
Input/Output Connector
The 6-pin, polarized connector is used to connect
external input/output devices. This allows connection of
an external +12 VDC input, an external DC level sensor
input, and a 1A contact switch closure output.
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

An RJ11 style connector is used to connect the cable
from the PC programmer to the radio.

A small, momentary pushbutton is used for field
programming the OUTPOST
®
Callbox.

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