The use of the amplifier or other equipment with any other antenna or in any other configuration (such as co-located antennas transmitting the same information) is expressly forbidden in accordance with FCC Rules CFR47 Part 15.204. Surveying the Antenna Site Before beginning system installation, emphasis should be placed on system planning. It is important that no large obstructions exist near the antenna, such as retaining walls, chimneys, air-conditioning units or other antenna masts. These types of objects can have an impact on the antenna system performance. Plan to mount the antenna as high as possible. You will need enough mast to elevate the antenna approximately 10-15 feet above the roof or above any obstruction that might be in the antenna's signal path. You will need to identify the location where the antenna cable will be routed. If you run the antenna cable through the roof, a water-proof fitting will be required. Consult a building contractor or licensed electrician to help you with the routing if necessary. Take note of the length of the mast you will need and the type of mounting hardware required. The amplified antenna kit is shipped with U-Bolt mounting hardware which should be ideal for mounting the antenna and amplifier to most types of mast. Also, make plans on how you are going to talk to the person at the remote antenna while you are going through the antenna alignment procedure. For example, cellular phones or walkie-talkies can be used. 9 Hyperlink Proxim Stratum MP Extended-Range Professional Antenna Systems SAFETY NOTICE Preparing for Antenna System Installation Warning: These antennas are designed to be mounted in open areas such as rooftops or building exterior walls. They are designed to be installed at least 6 feet away from areas occupied by people. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment when installed in accordance with the instructions provided. This equipment should be installed and operated with fix-mounted antennas that are installed such that the main lobe(s) if the antenna will have a minimum of 2 meters separation distance between the antenna and all persons bodies during normal operation. Warning: Before performing the following steps make certain that there are not any power lines within 50 ft. If the mast should fall, either while installing or during operation, contact with any power lines will be fatal or result in a fire. The Antennas are designed to be mounted on an aluminum or steel mast with a diameter from 1-1/4 inches to 3 inches. A larger diameter mast would be suggested for a more durable installation. This system includes an appropriate antenna cable. In addition to the kit contents, you will need a ground wire and wire ties. 10 Hyperlink Proxim Stratum MP Extended-Range Professional Antenna Systems HG2414P HG2415Y HG2424G Installing Non-Amplified Antenna Systems Follow these instructions for the following kits:
