External GPS Antenna
If your 4G LTE Network Extender cannot receive a GPS signal, it may be
necessary to improve the reception by installing the extension cable and then
repositioning the GPS antenna outside the unit. This section outlines the
installation and relocation of the external GPS antenna.
To relocate the GPS antenna of the Network Extender, follow these steps:
1
Turn off the Network Extender.
2
Firmly press down on the open groove (top right).
3
Slide the protective cover to the right to expose the rectangular GPS antenna.
4
Pull the GPS antenna away from the Network Extender.
5
Remove the GPS antenna from its compartment.
6
Connect the GPS antenna to one end of the provided GPS cable.
7
Connect and secure the other end to the port on the Network Extender (within
the GPS antenna compartment).
8
Place the antenna near a window where the GPS signal is stronger. You can
use double-sided tape to secure the bottom of the GPS antenna to its new
location. Do not cover the antenna with tape.
9
Replace the cover on the station and thread the cable through the opening at
the base of the cover.
10
Turn on the Network Extender to allow the detection of available GPS satellite
signals. Note, four GPS satellites (strong signals) are needed to acquire a GPS
location fix and may take up to 60 minutes.
11
If a GPS fix still cannot be acquired, check the GPS signal in the Admin
Website’s GPS status page. If the device does not have 4 or more strong GPS
satellite signals, place the GPS antenna in another location to receive a
stronger signal. In some scenarios, an outdoor GPS antenna (not included)
may be needed if adequate GPS signal is not available indoors.
