6. Base Station Positioning  

Please Note: The side of the Antenna indicated by the symbol shown in 

Figure 5 

identifies the active side of the Antenna. This side must face the patient. 

 

Figure 5. Symbol designating active side of Antenna 

The USB Interface and Antenna / Receiver can be surface-, wall-, or ceiling-mounted as 
one unit (docked) or separately (undocked) to achieve the best performance.  

6.1.  Mounting Options in the Docked Configuration 

To position the USB Interface and the Antenna / Receiver in their shipped (docked) 
arrangement, refer to 

Section 6.2.1

6.2.  Mounting Options in the Remote Confirguration 

To release the USB Interface and the Antenna / Receiver from their docked arrangement 
and to position them remotely, refer to 

Section 6.2.2

6.2.1.  Docked Mounting Option 

1.  Choose a convenient location for the USB Interface and the Antenna / Receiver, 

keeping in mind that: 

a.  You may need to periodically access the Sensor cradle for channel 

configuration. 

b.  The Antenna / Receiver must face the front of the patient and be within 6 

feet (1.8 meters) of the area where the Wireless Sensor will be used (

Figure 

6

). 

2.  Using the USB cable provided with your system, connect the cable from the USB 

Interface to the PC workstation. If you need a different USB cable from the one 
supplied with your system, refer to the CDR Wireless User Guide for compatible 
cable lengths and markings.
