2.3.4 Connecting The 8255/8260 Antenna
Warning: Operating the terminal without an antenna may damage the radio.
The antenna consists of the antenna whip and a magnetic mount with cable. To
attach it, follow the guidelines below.
• For narrow band and WAN radios, turn the antenna in a clockwise direction.
• For spread spectrum radios, turn the antenna in a counter-clockwise
direction.
The antenna works best when placed vertically and away from metal objects that
may interfere with the radio signal. The best location for the magnetic mount on a
fork lift truck is on the middle of the roof or cab cover, at least 20 centimeters away
from the operator.
Warning: As a safety precaution, USERS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO
CHANGE THE ANTENNA.
2.3.5 Installing The Cables
Note: Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage.
When installing the cables between the terminal and other devices, consider
the following:
• Ensure the drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Protect cables by using grommets when cables pass through metal.
• Prevent cables and connectors from moving and loosening by using
plastic straps.
