Note: This installation procedure is recommended for the outdoor installation of antennas and the SkyWay
BridgeKit. Improper installation and sealing of the RF cable connectors can allow moisture to
seep into the antenna, the radio or the cable itself. This can damage the equipment or falsely
indicate equipment failure. Careful installation and sealing should prevent damage to the equipment.
