1) ANTENNA MOUNTING
1A) Standard Mounting the Whip Antenna, AT0777

1B) Remote Mounting the Whip Antenna.
(Requires the Antenna Ground Plane, AT0775 or AT0776)
•
Installing the transmitter in a metal sound room or metal racks may confine the signal.
Remote installing the antenna outside of the sound room provides optimum coverage
(i.e., near the seats), while keeping your transmitter convenient to access.

and other sensitive electronic devices in the audio rack.
1) Attach the antenna to the ground plane jack that’s closest to the middle of the ground
plane.
2) U.S. FM systems are required by the FCC to feature non-standard connectors
(unique to Phonic Ear) on the transmitter. Remote mounting the antenna requires the
Phonic Ear ground plane kit that includes the non-standard cable (AT0776).
Contractors using their own cable (RG58/U 50-ohm coaxial cables) to make custom
cable lengths can order the ground plane with the non-standard connector kit
(AT0775).

3) Attach the cable to the other jack on the ground plane.
4) Plug the free end of the cable into the RF OUT jack on the back of the transmitter,
and secure the cable away from foot traffic.
5) Choose a location where the antenna will “see” the entire seating arrangement and
test the system to make sure there aren’t any dead spots in the listening environment
before securing the ground plane permanently.

6) Secure the ground plane by attaching screws through the two holes provided and
mount it on a wall or a ceiling (we recommend a vertical orientation). The ground
plane can also be placed on a tabletop.

1D) Large Area Antenna Mounting
•
Required coverage radius is greater than 60m/200 ft.
•
Large area coverage radius of 300m/1000 ft.
1) For shipping purposes it's necessary to collapse the antenna, you will need to extend
the antenna to its tuned height for best results. To extend it, loosen the two worm
clamps and pull the large center section out to the black ring marked around the tube.
Then tighten the lower worm clamp and extend the smaller element to the black ring.
Tighten the top clamp.

2) The large area antenna comes with a mounting hole and set screw so you can mount
it on a tripod (such as Radio Shack’s 1m/3ft tripod mount; Part #15-516) with a mast
(such as Radio Shack’s 1.5m/5 ft mast; Part #15-842). Ground your mounting pole,
tripod, or other holder to a metal surface to protect against lightning strikes. You may
also hang the antenna from a railing or metal superstructure (such as in a stadium).
