ANTENNA INSTALLATION
The supplied antenna provides good results over the entire frequency range of the trans-
ceiver. However, for enhanced base station medium-wave and shortwave reception, you
may wish to connect an external (outside) antenna.
TO INSTALL THE SUPPLIED ANTENNA
Hold the bottom end of the antenna, then screw it onto the mating connec-
tor on the transceiver until it is snug. Do not over-tighten by use of ex-
treme force.
Notes:
 Never transmit without having an antenna connected.
 Carefully turn the supplied antenna onto the SMA jack. Never twist
the upper part of the antenna while screwing it onto the mating con-
nector of the transceiver.
 If using an external antenna for transmission, ensure that the SWR
presented to the transceiver is 1.5:1 or lower.
INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES
BELT CLIP INSTALLATION
 Install the supplied Belt Clip to the FNB-101LI
Battery Pack using the supplied two screws
(Figure 1). Use only the screws included with
the Belt Clip to mount the Belt Clip to the back
of the Battery Pack!
 If you do not need the Belt Clip, install the sup-
plied Plastic Cap to the Battery Pack (Figure
