HOW TO USE THE ANTENNA
With the YA 1800 you will experience a significant improvement of the
quality of your communication on the 1800 MHz cellular networks (DCS
1800, PCN 1800, DECT and similar networks).
The antenna makes it possible to use your mobile telephone in areas with a
poor coverage and where it is sometimes very difficult to obtain and
maintain a satisfactory connection. The YA 1800 is ideal for use on caravans,
mobile homes, at weekend cottages and other places where the mobile
telephone is used in “semi-stationary” installations.
INSTALLATION STEPS
Mount the antenna on a 30-50 mm diameter mast tube using the
accompanying fittings and bolts (see illustration on the other page). The
antenna is to be oriented as indicated on the connection box of the
antenna.
Connect the antenna to the mobile telephone using an FME-cable of
appropriate length and an adapter for connection of an exterior antenna
to the handportable.
Direct the antenna towards the nearest base station for the 1800 MHz
cellular network in question. The correct direction may be determined
using the field strength indicator on the mobile telephone:
Turn on the telephone and note the field strength level on the indicator.
Rotate the antenna (in the horizontal plane) while observing the field
strength indicator.
Choose the direction in which the highest field strength level isobserved
and fasten the antenna.
