Page 34: Connecting The External Antenna
This can cause irreversible damage to the device. To attach the external antenna's RF cable to the EasyST: If you had originally ordered the EasyST with a clip-on antenna, then you need to remove it; otherwise, skip to Step 2. - Page 35 Remove the plastic protector cap to expose the MCX female connector. Insert a flat-head screw driver (or any tool with a blunt, pointed edge), into the cable groove created by the cap and the EasyST, and then gently leverage the cap's guides out of the EasyST's cover pins.
- Page 36 (supplied). Attach the plastic protector cap to the exposed area, by aligning the cap's two position cups with the EasyST's two position pins. Ensure that the cap's RF cable groove is aligned and flush with the RF cable and EasyST's RF cable groove.
