Antenna Installation

This chapter provides the information necessary for a professional antenna installer to install the RoamAbout antennas.

Electrical Hazard: Antennas should only be installed by a qualified antenna installer. The antenna installation professional should be licensed or certified in accordance with local regulations.

Do not install the antenna in wet, windy, icy, or otherwise unsafe weather conditions.

Peligro de descarga eléctrica: la colocación de la antena debe realizarla un instalador de antenas calificado y con las licencias correspondientes en las regulaciones locales. No instale la antena en condiciones climatológicas adversas, como lluvia, viento, heladas, nieve, etc., que podrían resultar peligrosas.

Elektrische Spannung: Antennen dürfen nur von qualifiziertem Fachpersonal installiert werden. Antenneninstallateure müssen den geltenden Vorschriften entsprechend lizenziert oder zugelassen sein. Von Installationsarbeiten bei Nässe, Wind, Frost oder anderen gefährlichen Wetterbedingungen ist abzusehen.

Note: Not all antennas in this chapter can be used by both wireless access points. Refer to Appendix A, Specifications, to determine if your access point supports the specified antenna.

The RoamAbout outdoor antenna kits do NOT provide the following items, which may be necessary to install the antenna:

Mast or other antenna support structure

Guy wires

All cables or other hardware necessary for a complete grounding system

Waterproof tape

Note: It is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that an outdoor antenna installation complies with local radio regulations.
