SETTING UP THE
ANTENNA
The receiver antenna has
been set up and installed from
the factory. The antenna is
secured by a 3x4mm set screw.
To remove the antenna tube,
simply remove the set screw
with a 1.5mm wrench.
When reinstalling the antenna,
first slide the antenna wire into
the bottom of the antenna
tube until the white tip of the
antenna is at the top of the
tube under the black cap. Next
insert the antenna tube into the
mount while making sure that
antenna wire is in the slot in the
antenna mount, then install the
set screw next to the antenna
tube. Use a 1.5mm wrench to
tighten the screw just until
the antenna tube is securely in
place. Do not over tighten. Do
not bend or kink the antenna
wire! See the sidebar for more
information. Do not shorten
the antenna tube.
