2In the US, channels in the 5150–5250 MHz band are disabled when the HP 501 is configured for use with the J9170A antenna.

CAUTION: When installing outdoor antennas outside, ensure that the metal shield is reliably connected to the protective earthing system of the building.

NOTE: When using any of the optional high-gain antennas, you must also use a cable that connects the HP 501 RP-SMA connector to the Type N connector on the optional antenna.
