Frequently Asked Questions
  1. FME vs TNC

We offer the ARC Wireless Freedom Antenna with an FME connector whereas many others offer the antenna with a TNC connector. The FME or TNC connector describes the type of connector used to connect to an antenna adapter. The antenna adapter is what allows the antenna to be connected to a particular phone or device. Without the antenna adapter, the antenna can not be used with your phone/device. Our selection of FME antenna adapters iis one of the largest available and greatly exceeds the number of TNC antenna adapters available allowing you maximum flexibility with your antenna. Should you already have a TNC antenna, you can adapt it to work with our adapters by using the FME/M to TNC/M adapter.

  1. ARC Wireless Freedom Antenna Plus

The ARC Wireless Freedom Antenna Plus is the an ARC Wireless Freedom Antenna plus a passive adapter for use with phones that have no antenna adapter available (for example, most new Nokia phone.) While it does not perform as well as the antenna with a standard antenna adapter it does perform better than the phone alone. We do not offer the ARC Wireless Freedom Antenna Plus as it is functionally equivalent to the standard antenna used with our passive adapter.

 

Instructions:

  • Power off wireless device
  • Attach the phone adapter cable (not included) to the antenna cable
  • Plug connector into antenna port on wireless device
  • Power on wireless device

Home and Office Use:

  • When installing Freedom Antenna in pedestal, antenna label should face pedestal cable exit
  • Place antenna as close to exterior window as possible
  • Attach to the top of your laptop using a laptop clip (sold separately)

Vehicle Use:

  • Adhere suction cups to antenna in designated circles above and below label
  • Make sure glass surface is clean on area of installation
  • Moisten suction cups and adhere antenna to glass
  • Connect antenna to wireless device
  • Attach to the vent in most vehicles using a vent clip (sold separately)

Installation Tips:

  • Antenna should be mounted vertically to maximize performance
  • Antenna should not be mounted against metal

Please note that some signal must exist in order for the Arc Wireless Freedom Antenna to function. For extremely poor signal situations we recommend an exterior mount antenna such as the Wilson Cellular Dual-Band Magnetic Mount (for vehicles) or Wilson Cellular Dual-Band Trucker (for home, buildings).
