RACK MOUNTING To rack mount the BTR-300 base transceiver do the following: Remove the front two #6-32 x 3/8” screws on each side of the transceiver as shown in Figure 9. Place the rack mount brackets (supplied) on either side of the unit and insert three #6-32 x 3/8” screws for each bracket. Tighten the screws securely. Insert the BTR-300 into [...]

ANTENNA INFORMATION ANTENNA CONNECTIONS The BTR-300 is supplied with two (2) anten- nas. One 5/8-wave antenna for Transmit and one 5/8-wave antenna for Transmit and one 5/8-wave for Receive. Assemble the 5/8-wave antenna by screwing the two sections together as shown in Figure 10. Both sections of the BTR-300 5/8-wave an - tennas must be used. Leav[...]

Remoting Antennas: It will be necessary to remote both the transmit and receive antennas on the BTR-300 when it is rack mounted. Connect the coax cable assembly (not sup - plied), to the receive antenna receptacle and mount the 5/8-wave antenna. The antenna can be attached to either a wall mount bracket or a microphone stand bracket (not supplied).[...]

ANTENNA POLARIZATION The Telex Wireless Intercom System is “Ver- tically Polarized”. This means both the trans- mitting and receiving antennas should operate in the vertical position.
