    Assembly Instructions: It is a good idea to make and use a working copy of the Assembly Instructions. You can download a copy from our web site and use it while building your SteppIR™. This will prevent the original from becoming torn, stained or otherwise mutilated when assembling the antenna. It is nice to retain a brand new set of instructions.

Do NOT connect the 16 conductor cable to the SteppIR™ controller until instructed to do so. If you ordered the 16 conductor control cable, it is included in your antenna kit. The required 25 pin con- nector has been installed on one end and the factory has stripped and tinned the wires on the other end.
