NOTE:

Operational current for antenna amplifier flows via the two contact connections of antenna wires in the antenna amplifier. If the antenna amplifier mounting bolts are not tightened correctly, then no current flows, resulting in a loss of reception and a malfunction entry follows.

The rest of the installation is performed in the reverse order.
