Appendix C. Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance

It is advisable to perform monthly maintenance on your antenna. Clean

off bugs and dirt on the outside of radome using mild soap and water;

treat radome with ProtectAll*. Check fasteners on radome, antenna and

antenna mounting brackets and tighten if necessary. Be sure cables and

wiring are properly connected and secured.

Annual maintenance — remove radome from antenna and clean off dirt

and debris from antenna base using a clean rag. Do not use cleaners or

liquids to clean the inside of the antenna; electronics may be damaged.

Before replacing the radome, be sure all drain holes in the base are

clear and free of debris.
