Tips for Improved Radio Signal Reception
The higher the antenna the better. So, start in the drop ceiling above
the unit and proceed up from there, to the roof if necessary.
Remember, the antenna should be as inconspicuous as possible for
greatest visual security.
Try to keep the antenna away from sources of RF interference,
including pumps, compressors, ovens, etc., or where metal objects
can shield it or otherwise block the cellular radio RF signal.
Place the antenna perpendicular to the ground, either right side up or
upside down. Do not mount the antenna horizontally.
Always use an antenna mounting bracket. Do not mount the antenna
such that it is in contact with another object, as this may interfere
with cellular reception and transmission.
Measure Received Signal Strength (RSSI) for Best Antenna
Placement
Measure the received signal strength by pressing and releasing the RSSI
button. This switches the LEDs to display signal strength (RSSI Mode).
Slowly move the unit or remote antenna to achieve maximum signal strength.
Pick the place where the most LEDs (up to four) are lighted.
