-Solder the aerial (a 6.47" piece of wire) onto the RF module solder pad connector (marked 'ANT'). Alternatively, if you have purchased the external antenna, use the pigtail connected SMA socket (that is supplied with the external antenna kit). Centre pin on the connector goes to the 'ANT' pad, outer to any Ground signal on the PCB. \\

 Next, fit the voltage regulator (marked as IC1 on the PCB legend).\\
+This regulates the 15V feed from the Livebox down to 12V for the RF module.
 Ensure that the flat side on the component matches the PCB legend.
