Monteringsvejledning:
- Vælg placering: Select an outdoor location with a clear line of sight to cellular towers or Wi-Fi access points. Consider mounting on a pole or wall.
- Assemble Bracket: Attach the L-bracket to the antenna using the provided nuts and washers.
- Secure Antenna:
- For pole mounting: Use the U-bolts to secure the L-bracket to a mast (mast sold separately).
- For wall mounting: Use appropriate screws (not included) to secure the L-bracket directly to a sturdy wall surface.
- Tilslut koaksialkabel: Connect a 50 Ohm coaxial cable (not included) to the N-Female connector on the antenna. Ensure the connection is tight and weatherproofed.
- Kabelrute: Route the coaxial cable to your cellular modem, router, or radio device.
Vigtig bemærkning: This antenna must be connected via a 50 Ohm coaxial cable to an existing cellular modem/router/radio device. It does not improve signal for cell phones or other devices not directly wired to the antenna.

Driftsprincipper
The Proxicast ANT-126-002 is an omni-directional antenna, meaning it receives and transmits signals in a 360-degree pattern around its axis. This makes it suitable for locations where the exact direction of the signal source is unknown or where signals may come from multiple directions.
It is designed to enhance the signal strength and data throughput for compatible devices by providing a higher gain connection to cellular and Wi-Fi networks. The antenna's wideband capability ensures compatibility across various frequency bands used by major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Telus, Bell Canada, Rogers, and DigiCel.

Opretholdelse
The Proxicast antenna is built for outdoor durability with a weather and impact resistant ABS radome. Minimal maintenance is required.
- Periodisk eftersyn: Annually inspect the antenna and its mounting hardware for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loosening. Ensure all connections remain secure.
- Rensning: Rengør om nødvendigt forsigtigt antennens yderside med en blød klud.amp klæde. Undgå at bruge skrappe kemikalier eller slibende materialer.
- Kabelintegritet: Check the coaxial cable for any damage, kinks, or degradation of the outer jacket. Ensure weatherproof seals at connectors are intact.
Fejlfinding
If you experience issues with signal improvement, consider the following troubleshooting steps:
- Tjek forbindelser: Ensure the 50 Ohm coaxial cable is securely connected to both the antenna's N-Female port and your modem/router/radio device. A loose connection can significantly degrade performance.
- Kabeltype: Verify that you are using a 50 Ohm coaxial cable. Using a 75 Ohm cable (common for TV) will result in poor performance.
- Required Adapters: If your device uses a different connector type (e.g., SMA), ensure you are using the correct 50 Ohm adapter (e.g., N Male to SMA Female). Incorrect adapters can cause signal loss.
- Antenneplacering: Experiment with different mounting locations and heights. Even small changes in position can impact signal reception, especially if obstructions are present.
- Enhedskompatibilitet: Confirm that your modem/router/radio device is configured to use an external antenna and is compatible with the antenna's frequency range.
- Signalkilde: While omni-directional, performance can still be affected by distance to the nearest cell tower or Wi-Fi access point.
If problems persist after following these steps, contact Proxicast customer support for further assistance.
