- Never use straps to secure the unit.
- Place the unit as far a possible from metallic objects that could bock radio waves.
Using the Magnetic Pads
To mount the unit on a rooftop using its magnetic pads, follow the steps below:
- Thoroughly clean and dry the mounting surface to remove dust, water, condensation or viscous liquid such as oil.
- Make sure that the magnetic pads are clean, dry and undamaged.
- Place the antenna horizontally on the dry and clean surface.
Caution
If one of the pads is damaged, you must replace it prior to driving so that the antenna can be properly secured to the roof.
Using the 1/4-20 Threaded Mount
In order to mount the Quad Antenna on a standard tripod, a mast or a magic arm, screw a 1/4-20 treaded post into the anti-rotation 1/4-20 threaded mount.
Using the Four M4-Threaded Silentblocs
To mount the Quad Antenna on a plate or chassis, you need eight M4 stainless steel lock washers and four M4 threaded bolts.
Important
Do not use flat washers.
Multiple Quad Antenna
You can place several Quad Antennas on a vehicle roof. To avoid coupling, place each Quad Antenna at least 20 cm (8") away from the other antenna.
