Press the battery access door tabs and remove the battery access door. 3. Install 4 “AA” alkaline batteries (not supplied) - see Figure 3. 4. Reinstall the battery access door using the screw.
SX5 Location and Installation The SX5 comes with a standard spike antenna (TNC) - see Figure 5. For optimal signal strength, choose a location that is above ground and as close to windows (or exterior walls) as possible - see Figure 6. Cellular signal strength is displayed by the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) LED on the unit - See the How to Use the LED Status Indicators section of this manual. 1. Connect the antenna to the terminal - see Figure 5. 2. Finger-tighten the antenna.
Connect the SX5 to AC Power 1. A protective earth (safety ground) terminal (screw) marked with a protective earth symbol is provided on the back of the SX5 see Figure 9a. Connect this terminal to a good earth ground (i.e., a cold water pipe) by means of an 18 gauge or heavier insulated wire. The wire insulation should be green with a yellow stripe to indicate that this is a protective earth (safety ground) connection.
