• The antenna is mounted directly using screw fitting. If using stub and adapter, procedures can vary slightly.
• When using the adapter and carrier, ensure that the antenna and the adapter assembly slide down the full length of the carrier stub. An incorrectly mounted antenna will have a direct effect on the results.
➜ Use an external battery such as GEB373 to ensure operation for a full day.
