qualified technician, to the relevant standards
and approvals.
While the following instructions are intended to
assist with installation, it is the purchaser's
responsibility to ensure that the antenna is

vehicle-occupant safety, particularly in the
WARNING
event of a vehicle accident. Codan accepts no
responsibility or liability in the event of injury
to pedestrians or vehicle occupants or any other
damage due to insecure or otherwise unsafe or
inappropriate installation of the antenna.
The antenna is a critical element in an HF communications
system. Correct installation of the antenna provides efficient
operation over the frequency range of the transceiver. A good
installation ensures the antenna provides optimum output
power during transmission and clear reception of weak
signals.
When installing the antenna you must consider:
• the location and mounting of the antenna
• how to provide a good earth plane for the antenna
• the routing of the coaxial and control cable
