Antenna Notes: Line of sight is VERY important with this wireless equipment.
If the wireless is to be used in a building with steel
sheeting, or if it is to be used in an area where obstructions need to be cleared for line of site signal, you may need to use one of the
above listed available accessory antennas. The use of any antenna other than ones specially tuned to the frequency of the wireless will
likely result in poor performance and may cause damage to the unit. When selecting an antenna it is highly recommended to match the
antenna on both transmitter and receiver for best results.
