Disconnecting A Pigtail Antenna Assembly; Connect The Magnetic Antenna Assembly (Optional) - Motorola WMC6300 User Manual

Disconnecting a Pigtail Antenna Assembly

Care should be taken when disconnecting an antenna from the WMC6300 card. Applying force
in any direction other than parallel to the card may result in excess pressure being applied to the
connection between the WMC6300 connector and the board, which could crack or otherwise
damage a solder joint.
When disconnecting a pigtail antenna from the WMC6300, additional attention must be taken
not to damage the card, connector, or cable. As shown in the following diagram, pull straight out
at the connector to avoid damaging the card, connector or cable.

Connect the Magnetic Antenna Assembly (Optional)

Complete the following procedure to install the Magnetic Mount Antenna on the rooftop of a
vehicle. The length of the Antenna cable is approximately 12 feet.
1. Attach the Magnetic Antenna to the metal rooftop of the vehicle so that the antenna is in
a vertical orientation.
ATTENTION: The base of the antenna contains a powerful magnet that secures the antenna to
the rooftop. Use care when attaching the antenna.
2. Route the remaining 12 foot cable as required, to arrive at the Host Computer.
When using the WMC6300 in a laptop computer, keep antenna
at a minimum separation distance of 20cm from all persons.
When using the WMC6300 in a PDA, keep antenna at a
minimum separation distance of 1.5cm from all persons.
