To install a single LNA to an antenna:

2. Remove the plastic cover from the antenna end (RF IN) of the LNA.

3. Remove the plastic cover from the RF OUT end of the LNA.

CAUTION

After removing the protective cover(s), ensure that no foreign
material or moisture enters the antenna waveguide or LNA.


4. Install the appropriate gasket on the antenna end of the LNA:

should be used.


b. If the LNA and the antenna flange both have grooves, the thick gasket should
