NOTE: A coaxial cable loses efficiency as the frequency increases, resulting in signal loss. The cable should be kept as short as
possible because cable length also determines the amount of signal loss (the longer the cable, the greater the loss).

Painting the Antenna

Painting the antenna and the bracket does not affect its performance if you use standard exterior-grade, oil-based, or latex
paint. Do not use metallic or metallic-flake paints, which will degrade antenna performance.
NOTE: Before painting the antenna, cover the pressure-release vent on the rear, lower-left of the antenna with masking tape to
prevent clogging. Ensure that you remove the tape afterwards.
We recommend that you use Krylon Fusion for Plastic or Rust-Oleum for Plastic (which might require a primer coat). For best
results, follow the surface preparation suggestions from the paint manufacturer.
