time. In most cases however, the signal should be available continuously. If you experience a loss of signal or audio, reposition the antenna inside the home or outside as necessary.
6.Antenna Placement Considerations
The antenna should be placed on a relatively flat surface whenever possible. When outdoors, the antenna may be left in its mount atop the Boom Box provided no overhead obstructions are present. To mount the antenna:
a.Plug the antenna into the ANT connector on the back of the JSIR900B.
b.Leave the antenna in place on the Boom Box, or remove the antenna from its mount, uncoil the antenna lead, and place it at the preferred location inside or outside the home. If no audio is heard, move the antenna to different positions on the surface until an audio output is heard. This is the desired antenna position and, if indoors, should be marked.
c.After determining the optimum position, turn
off JSIR900B and Receiver power. Disconnect the power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle (if indoors) and disconnect the antenna cable.
d. Plan the routing of the antenna cable to the JSIR900B ANT input when indoors. Make sure you avoid any obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the cable; use protective grommets wherever rough openings are encountered. If the antenna is mounted outside, route the cable from the antenna position to the interior of the home, working the cable through the basement, under a window sill, etc.; make adjustments and take up slack whenever necessary.
e. If outdoors, either leave the antenna in place atop the JSIR900B, or remove the antenna and find a location free from overhead obstructions such as tree branches, or the roof of a tent or other temporary shelter.
f.Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector on the back of the JSIR900B.
g.If not using battery power as the primary power source, plug the female end of the DC adapter cable into the DC 12V receptacle on the rear of the JSIR900B.
h.Plug the other end of the DC adapter cable into a
