Hi, new here, first time diy alarm system, had a brinks system for years and got pretty good at having to fix the old Simon xt all the time.
With that said, I just received my new iq4 panel today, went to set it up, plugged in the battery and see a short black wire that comes off the back end of the antenna wire , it doesn’t appear to plug into anything , is it supposed to just hang there?

It goes to the legacy RF radio card, the one on the right in the image, just above the battery. It is the antenna for that card.
The antenna should gently snap in to the corresponding port on the card itself. You will want to ensure the panel is fully powered down before reattaching.
Got it, thanks!
Powered it up… but can’t really do much else until my contract with my current monitoring company is up , and that’s December 
But I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions once I get my monitoring set up with you guys.
Thanks
No problem. Just let us know!
