3) Remove the hexagon locking nut from the base of the antenna.
4) Feed the cable from the antenna through the hole until the antenna sits flush.
5) Feed the hexagonal nut through the cable and tighten on the antenna to hold it firmly in place.
6) Connect the cable to the communications device.

Magnetic Mount Antenna: RST715
The magnetic mount antenna provides a versatile solution that
requires very little installation. The cable supplied is the maximum
specified length to avoid any loss of signal and maintain call quality.
It is not recommended to extend this cable further to avoid loss of
dB beyond the specification.
The antenna should be attached to a metal surface and placed in a
position that provides the greatest line of site to the sky, free of
obstructions.
Bolt Mount Antenna: RST720
Antenna RST715 / 720
The bolt mount antenna is ideal for permanent
installations and enables the antenna system to be
securely affixed in location. The cable supplied is the
maximum specified length to avoid any loss of signal
and maintain call quality. It is not recommended to
extend this cable further to avoid loss of dB beyond
the specification.
To install the antenna you will need to;
1) Use an existing mounting hole or drill a hole
that will enable the antenna connector to
pass through.
2) The hole size should not exceed the size of
the hexagonal locking nut.

- Page 2 INSTALLATION GUIDE Antenna RST715 / 720 Antenna installation is critical for optimum performance of your Iridium service. Installing Guidelines To ensure maximum performance of the antenna system and to maximise availability and reliability of service the antenna must; • have a clear line of site to the sky • be clear and free of obstructions • be clear of metal objects • be located away from other transmitting devices • be securely affixed in location • not be located indoors • be installed in conjunction with a certified cable Installing Antenna Cables When installing antenna cables, follow these guidelines: • Route and restrain cables to prevent them from vibrating or moving under normal conditions, which could result in damage to the antenna or the coaxial cable connections. • Wherever the cables contact structures, protect the cables from chafing or abrasion. If a cable needs to be bent, avoid kinking it, and ensure that each bend radius follows the cable supplier limits. • Use coaxial sealant, shrink‐wrap tubing, electrical tape, or another suitable product to seal all cable connections appropriately to prevent moisture and corrosion damage from weather exposure. • Mount all antennas vertically and clear of nearby metal obstructions • Minimize horizontal obstructions as much as possible because they can create areas of poor system coverage. • To minimize the loss of radio signal from the antenna to the terminal, the specific coaxial cable system between the antenna and the other component should be less than 3db including connector loss. ...
