(5) RF Scan: Antenna Power Measurement
Run the ClearOne Remote software RF Scanner to verify the antennas and cables are working correctly. Each 
transmitter is represented by two green lines, one for each antenna. The received power from at least one 
antenna should always be between -40 and -60 dBm.

If the received signal exceeds -40 then the transmitters should have their RF power settings reduced or they 
should be moved farther away from the receiver antennas as this may cause IMD.  

(6) Built-in antenna distribution
WS800 receivers allow the antenna inputs and outputs to be linked together on multiple units to create up to a 
32 channel system. Then the top receiver can be connected to a pair of extension antennas to cover a single 
area.  Or up to 6 pairs of antennas can be connected to cover six different areas using our antenna combiner 
units.  These details are included in our free antenna design.
