The Orion-900, 900MHz ISM band radio is a radio device, so it is susceptible to common causes of
interference that can reduce throughput and range. Follow these basic guidelines to ensure the best
possible performance:
If there is any other 900MHz RF device deployed in the area, try to set the channel to one
that does not overlap the interferer. If you are not able to determine what channel the
interferer is on, randomly select a channel until the channel with the best signal strength is
locked in.
A clear line-of-sight path can guarantee the best performance. Ensure proper antenna height
and no obstructions. Although the Orion-900 can be forgiving under certain circumstances,
it is always recommend that. clear line of sight is achieved.
