Mounting the Repeater
Once you determine that your chosen location transmits and receives the sig-
nal, continue with the installation by mounting the repeater. Mounting hard-
ware has been included for the most common installations (see figure on page
9 for instructions).
CAUTION: Any prominent object, including an outside-mounted
repeater, can attract a lightning strike. If lightning strikes your unit or
strikes somewhere nearby, the unit’s internal electronics may suffer. The unit
itself has been designed with considerable surge protection, but to safeguard
nearby equipment and structures, we recommend following local recommen-
dations on properly grounding your installation. For more information, contact
your local lightning protection authority and/or refer to the following articles:
