unit has come to a complete stop. Press the power button on the Model 2090 to

turn it off.

Mounting Antennas

The Model 2171B/2170B accepts antennas with the following mount types:

Stinger-mount boom: Stinger-mount

Optional offset boom: 7/8

–14 thread, 1/4–20 thread

These mount types will maintain the centerline axis during polarization. The

antenna should be mounted on the boom as close to the carrier as possible.

Insert the mounting knobs through the holes on the boom and align the mounting

holes on the antenna with the threaded end of the mounting knobs. Secure the

antenna in place by tightening the threaded knobs into the receptacle mounting

holes on the antenna.
