3. Орнотуу жана орнотуу

Follow these steps to properly attach and prepare your antenna for use:

1. Unpack the Antenna: Carefully remove the antenna from its packaging. You will find the foldable antenna and typically a small rubber O-ring.
2. Prepare the Radio: Ensure your compatible Baofeng radio is powered off before attaching or detaching any accessories. Remove any existing antenna by unscrewing it counter-clockwise.
3. Антеннаны тиркөө: Align the SMA-Female connector of the BF-108CM antenna with the SMA-Male port on your radio. Gently screw the antenna clockwise until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
4. Secure the Connection (Optional): For some radio models, an included O-ring can be placed around the antenna base before screwing it on to ensure a snug fit and prevent moisture ingress.
5. Unfold the Antenna: The antenna is secured in a folded position with a Velcro strap. Release the strap and carefully unfold the antenna to its full 42.5-inch (108 cm) length. Ensure it is fully extended for optimal performance.

4. Иштөө нускамалары

The BAOFENG BF-108CM antenna is designed to enhance the performance of your compatible ham radio. To achieve optimal results:

• Толук кеңейтүү: Always ensure the antenna is fully extended to its 42.5-inch length when transmitting or receiving for maximum gain and range.
• Жыштык тилкелери: This antenna supports both VHF (144 MHz) and UHF (430 MHz) frequency bands, providing versatility for various communication needs.
• Do Not Transmit When Folded: Transmitting with the antenna in a folded or partially folded state can result in a high Standing Wave Ratio (SWR), which may damage your radio. Always unfold the antenna completely before transmitting. Receiving is possible when folded, but performance will be reduced.
• Жакшыртылган аткаруу: Expect significantly improved signal reception and transmission range compared to standard stock antennas, especially in challenging environments.

5. Техникалык тейлөө

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your antenna, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Тазалоо: Wipe the antenna with a soft, damp кирди жана чаңды тазалоо үчүн кездеме. Катуу химиялык заттарды же абразивдүү материалдарды колдонуудан алыс болуңуз.
• Сактагыч: When not in use, fold the antenna and secure it with the Velcro strap. Store it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Текшерүү: Periodically inspect the antenna for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the rubberized coating or bent elements. Ensure the SMA connector is clean and free of corrosion.
• Туташтыргычка кам көрүү: Keep the SMA connector clean and dry. If necessary, use a small brush or compressed air to remove debris.

6. Кыйынчылыктарды

Эгерде антеннаңыз менен көйгөйлөр жаралса, төмөнкүлөрдү эске алыңыз:

• Poor Signal/Range:
  • Антеннанын толугу менен узартылганын текшериңиз.
  • Антеннанын радиого бекем бекитилгенин текшериңиз.
  • Антеннага же анын туташтыргычына кандайдыр бир физикалык зыян келтирилгенин текшериңиз.
  • Confirm your radio settings (frequency, power output) are correct.
• Antenna Not Folding/Unfolding Smoothly:
  • Check for any obstructions or debris in the folding mechanism.
  • Avoid forcing the antenna; it should move with moderate pressure.
• Radio Damage After Transmitting:
  • If you transmitted with the antenna folded, this could cause high SWR and potential damage to the radio's final ampөмүр берүүчү сtage. Consult your radio's manual or a qualified technician.
