Installation Overview
The following steps provide a summary of the amplifi er/antenna installation process using
the mini magnet-mount antenna (included with Part #811211). However, they are not a

read thoroughly. If you are using a different antenna, follow the specifi c instructions that
come with it.
STEP 1 Install the Antenna
For a vehicle installation, attach the antenna in the center of the vehicle’s roof and run the
cable through the door to the amplifi er. For a home or offi ce installation, attach the antenna
to the optional window bracket, affi x the bracket to a window with the suction cups and run
the cable to the amplifi er. (See pages 4 and 6 for details and warnings.)
STEP 2 Install the Amplifi er
Position the amplifi er in a well-ventilated location away from direct sunlight. Run the cable
from the antenna and attach it to the FME-Male connector labeled “outside antenna” on the
amplifi er. (See pages 5 and 6 for details.)

Attach the universal connector cable to the FME-Male connector labeled “Universal
