Page 11: Removing Your Original Antenna
To remove your original antenna, hold it by its base and unscrew firmly by turning it counter-clockwise until the antenna is seperated from the connector. After it has been removed, take your Hawking Hi-Gain Antenna connector and screw it (clockwise) onto your wireless device. -
Page 12: What Is "Cable Loss
HOW DO HAWKING HI-GAIN™ ANTENNAS WORK? HA12W Hi-Gain 12dBi Directional Window Antenna V. CABLE LOSS Cable loss is the loss in signal strength (dBi) due to the length of your antenna cable. Different types of Hi-Gain antenna cables have different rates of cable loss. However, in all cases, the longer your antenna cable is, the more signal strength (dBi) you will lose. -
