(recommended in section 3.2.1) the value of the resistor should be a 120 Ohm ¼ watt resistor.

To terminate a Base Radio, place one end of the resistor in the open terminal block’s B slot and place the other end of the resistor in the open terminal block’s A slot. Doing so will place the resistor across the A and B wires, as needed. An example of this is shown in Figure 3-10.

3.2.8 Grounding the Base Radio

In order to assure safety requirements on your Base Radio, the Base Radio housing must be grounded. We have provided a grounding screw located on the left side of the Base Radio housing. To ground the Base Radio simply place a wire from the grounding screw to a grounded object.

Possible grounded objects include:

The building’s metal frame-work

Any electrical conduit

A suitable grounding or lightning rod

3.2.9High Gain Antenna

A high-gain antenna is available for the Base Radio. This antenna generally doubles the signal range of the Base Radio, but requires an installation in a general-purpose area.
