Connecting the Antenna
The omni-directional RF antenna has either a fixed-base that is permanently attached to the
vehicle or a magnetic base that can be attached to and removed from the vehicle as
necessary.
When deciding where to mount the antenna, consider the following.
• Choose a flat area on the vehicle's roof, where the metal of the roof is 0.02-0.04 inches
thick.
• Install the antenna a minimum of 12 inches—recommended 30 inches—from any other
antennas or metal structures on the vehicle’s roof that could disrupt communication with
endpoints.
• To meet RF exposure safety requirements, the antenna must be installed 7.9 inches (20
cm.) from where any bystanders might be.
To connect the antenna to the MC3Lite
• Connect the omni-directional RF antenna cable to the MAIN ANTENNA connector on the
MC3Lite. Be sure to properly tighten the connector. A loose connection can lead to poor
radio and read performance.
