a. The power inserter should be correctly connected, or the transmitter
will not operate.
b. Ensure that all wires and cables are hooked up before plugging into
the AC adapter/power supply (i.e. you must hook up the power supply
last).
② After connection, the F connector of the transmitter must be sealed with
an asphalt sealing tape. (For details, please refer to Section 2.3

2.3 W aterpr oofin g Connections
Water-proofing is very important during installation of the transmitter.
Please use the included water-proof asphalt tape to seal off the
F-connector as shown below:
① After you plug in the coaxial cable into the F-connector, use the included
water-proofing asphalt tape to seal off the F-connector from the bottom (i.e.
the part close to Transceiver). Note that the tape must wrap up all the thread
of the F-connector.
② The wrap up of the tape must be tight and sturdy. Each wrap-around must
cover at least 50% width of the previous wrap-around.
7

③ The total width of the wrap-around is about 6cm, which corresponds to 7
to 8 rounds of tapes.
* Warning: If you do not follow the above procedure, the transmitter could
become malfunctioning due to water leakage.
