We have provided the plug for the wires to the motor. You can simply use butt connectors
to make the connection to the wires that go to the antenna’s motor.
The Black Hawk Motor™ will operate from 9 to 24 volts DC. For home or base use, power
supplies are available from High Sierra.
The light on the control box will illuminate when the antenna’s coil is fully extended or fully
retracted. The light may also blink when the antenna’s motor is started. The lens on the light
assembly may be red or green. It does not matter.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
• You will need to supply 9to 24 volts DC to the control box.
• The supply needs to provide about 1 amp maximum.
• If the cigarette lighter plug is not needed or does not fit, cut it off.
• Do use a 2 amp fuse.

The control box should be mounted in a convenient location since it will be used to tune the
antenna.

Turn off your Icom™ transceiver. Plug the 4 pin connector into the AH-4 tuner jack on the
back of your Icom™ transceiver. When the transceiver is powered-up, a signal from the I-
TENNA control box tells the transceiver that the antenna is connected.
