Technical Manual
INSTALLATION
Antenna Location and Setup
The Phonecell SX4e comes with a standard spike antenna (TNC). External options for improved sig-
nal strength include magnetic mount (TNC), patch panel (N), or yagi (TNC) -
See Figure 1
. For opti-
mal signal strength, choose an antenna location that is above ground and as close to windows (or
exterior walls) as possible -
See Figure 2
. Cellular signal strength is displayed by the Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) LED on the unit - See the
How to Use the LED Status Indicators
section of this guide.
1) Connect the antenna to the side of the terminal
- see Figure 1
.
2) Finger-tighten the antenna; do not over-tighten.
Optional Wall-Mount Instructions
1) Mark two hole locations 98.5mm (3-7/8 inches) vertically apart and drill two holes into the wall.
2) Install the screws (not supplied) into the wall, leaving a gap (approximately 3 mm (1/8 inch))
between screw head and wall.
3) Align the mounting holes with the screws and mount the Phonecell SX4e onto the screws -
See
Figures 3 and 4.
Figure 2 – For optimal call clarity, the antenna should
be pointed up and the SX4e located close to an exterior
wall or window.
