Installation and User Guide
If the Extender is mounted upside down (antenna up), always inspect and verify the presence
of an O-ring on the antenna base. The O-ring is included with the antenna. Verify that the O-
ring has no physical deformities that could compromise the water tight seal at the base of the
antenna.
The antenna should never be more than 10° off in any direction from being perpendicular to
the ground.
