Congratulations on your purchase of the Phantom Elite

Antenna.

The Elite is a patented antenna product offered exclusively by Laird Technologies and

its affiliates. Like two antennas in one, the Elite features a wideband, no tune,

field-diversity design providing the same benefits of the standard Phantom in

a striking aerodynamic shape.

Mounting Instructions:

For optimum performance, the mounting area must be free of metal obstructions

within half electrical wavelength apart. This is approximately 12.8" at 450 MHz and

7" at 800 MHz. Any object within this range may detune the antenna.

The Phantom Elite has a unique shape that when installed correctly, has the

distinct aerodynamic look of a vertical stabilizer on an aircraft. This shape has

what is known as a leading edge (the more angled edge) and a trailing edge.

For the best installed look, the leading edge should face towards the front of

the vehicle. Because of this unidirectional design, we have developed a unique

colleting action mounting system that allows for appropriate alignment of the

antenna during installation.
