Orientation To establish good wireless communication ( uplink ), vertically align the antenna
with respect to ground and sky . For example, if standing and holding the terminal
horizontally, position the antenna approximately at a 90
°
angle to the unit (that is,
pointing up from the ground). This should point the antenna directly at the sky.
If the unit is on a flat surface (for example, a table top) position the antenna so that
it points directly at the sky.
