LTE Antenna
NOTE:
• Icom has received a technical standard conformity certification (construction design
certification), so only the included LTE antenna can be used.
• Do not bend or pull the coaxial cable forcibly.
• Do not step on the coaxial cable, place heavy objects on it, or pinch it.
• Do not touch the connection cable with wet hands.
• When routing the coaxial cable, be careful not to apply excessive force.
• It is recommended if your vehicle is in a damp environment to wrap a waterproof
self-adhesive tape around the cables (LTE antenna, GPS antenna DC power cables etc)
as shown in the drawing to help guard against the effects of any water intrusion.
NOTE: When attaching the antenna nut
to the connector DO NOT over tighten.
Before installing, clean the dashboard from dirt and debris.
• Keep at least 30cm between LTE antennas.
• Keep the LTE antenna and microphone at least 30cm away.
• To make it easier for reception, install the antenna on a horizontal surface
(near the windshield) on the dashboard. But not obstructing the view
Wrap tape from the top of the
coaxial cable as shown below.
