Note: Refer to Section 8, Figure 8-1, for assistance in the installation of the LNA using
the LNA Connector Kit P/N KT/2721.
To install a single LNA (Figure 3-2) to an antenna:
1. Remove the protective cover from the antenna mount location (if installed).
2. Remove the plastic cover from the antenna end (RF IN) of the LNA.
3. Remove the plastic cover from the RF OUT end of the LNA.
CAUTION
After removing the protective cover(s), ensure that no foreign
material or moisture enters the antenna waveguide or LNA.
4. Install the appropriate gasket on the antenna end of the LNA:
a. If the LNA has a groove, and the antenna flange does not, the thin gasket
should be used.
b. If both the LNA and the antenna flange have grooves, the thick gasket should
be used.
