Depending on site requirements, a proprietary extension 
cable can be attached between the lightning surge arrestor 
and the antenna or between the lightning surge arrestor and 
the base station. The total cable length should always be 
kept as short as possible and the recommended extension 
cable used only if absolutely necessary.
You must install a lightning surge arrestor for each outdoor 
external antenna.
FCC requirements.
In the United States, the FCC requires that only 
certified antennas be connected to Companion 
base stations.
Do not install the external antenna or the lightning 
surge arrestor during an electrical storm.
Always turn off the base station power before 
connecting the coaxial cable of an outdoor external 
antenna.
Always install the lightning surge arrestor at the cable 
entry point into the building.
Connect the lightning surge arrestor to ground before 
connecting the coaxial cable.
