Antenna Positioning Tips:
l
Every antenna has a certain pattern of coverage for which it is useful.
The pattern of the BaseStation antenna needs to be focused in the
desired coverage area to ensure best RF results.
o
When possible, centrally position the omni-directional antenna in
the middle of the desired coverage area.
l
Higher is almost always better when placing antennas.
o
Maintaining a direct line of sight from the antenna to the Radio
Pack is the best possible antenna scenario.
o
The minimum acceptable application of this is to get the
BaseStation antenna above head level.
l
Always keep antennas away from the following:
o
Large metal objects. Stay at least two feet away from these.
o
Large containers of liquid. Most liquids are intense RF absorbers.
o
Confined spaces. Don’t set up antennas in rooms or areas with
RF obstacles. Wide open spaces are good. Stay two to four feet
away from walls or ceilings.
4. Power ON the BaseStation via its power switch.
5. Power on your Radio Packs. If already paired, they will log in and be ready for use.
o
If your Radio Packs have not been paired to your BaseStation, see
for instructions on setting up and using Radio Packs with your system.
o
If your Radio Packs do not have batteries installed, see
"Install Radio Pack Batteries" on
. (You can also see
"Charge RP Batteries" on page 31
for more information on that
topic.)
