2. For best reception, turn your receiver ATTENUATOR ON, and keep your Gain /
Volume low. Adjust the GAIN knob so that the meter needle or LED is only at 1-2
on the scale when you are pointing the antenna towards a strong signal.
3. Rotate your wrist so that the antenna elements move from a horizontal position to
vertical and back.
4. Take several readings. Move about 10 feet to each side as well as 10 feet from front
to back.
5. After use, fold antenna elements for storage.
Remove the antenna:
1. IMPORTANT- Before you separate the antenna from receiver bottom, detach the
cable and BNC connector assembly from receiver back. This prevents the cable
from getting pulled and harmed. To detach the cable, press the right angle BNC
connector IN to the receiver and TURN RIGHT. Pull the cable assembly from the
receiver antenna jack. The receiver may now be used with a standard 3 element
directional antenna. Just attach the 3 element antenna's BNC connector.
2. Ensure the antenna is folder beneath the receiver. Position one side of receiver
against you.
3. Place 4 fingers of each hand on the other side between receiver and antenna.
Interlock you fingers, grasp and pull (hard) the receiver from the antenna. The dual
lock material snaps when it is separated.
Instructions to use antenna with big WMI or other brand receivers:
1. Attach antenna to receiver by grasping the end of the antenna cable. Press the
cable's BNC connector into the receiver's antenna jack by pushing IN and RIGHT.
2. Unfold the antenna handle by lifting the two center bars that are velcroed and
hinged. Press the two center bars together so that the Velcro connects for a handle.
3. Open antenna elements; pull wings out to 90 degrees on each side.
4. Follow the instructions for "Locate a signal" printed above.
Instructions to attach antenna with WMI small receivers already in use:
1. Loosen the 4 screws that secure the battery compartment lid at back of the receiver.
You will be loosening thumb screws from a disposable-battery receiver, or, you will
be removing standard 4-40 machine screws from a rechargeable-battery receiver.
2. Lift the battery compartment lid off. Batteries and their foam shield must remain
in the receiver.
