Shakespeare Electronic 476 Manual

Thank you for purchasing a Shakespeare antenna product.
Customer comments are welcome. Before installing, please study the
diagram and check parts supplied against those listed.
IMPORTANT! Please read all instructions before installing.
The Style 476 is a one-section, phased 1/2-wave collinear array,
commercial VHF marine antenna of 21' (6.4 m) length.
Installation Instructions
Choose a mounting location that is as high as feasible, as free as
possible from obstructions, and as far as possible from other antennas
and strong sources of RF.
1. Mount the antenna.
For mast mounting, use the antenna's 2¾"x26" aluminum
sleeve, and strap it directly to the mast with suitable hardware
(not supplied), or use a Shakespeare Style 483 Clamp Set (sold
separately).
For bulkhead mounting, use Shakespeare Style 484 Wall Mounting
Brackets (sold separately).
2. Connect the antenna to your transceiver using suitable coax cable
(sold separately).
IMPORTANT: Do not mount or store this antenna in an inverted
or horizontal position. Always position the antenna so moisture
absorption or condensation can drain out between the aluminum
sleeve and the coaxial connector.
This antenna requires no external or internal ground system, and
works equally well on fiberglass, wood, or metal boats.
WARNING: Installation of this product near
power lines is dangerous! Check for overhead
wires before installing.
