Telex TR-500/600C Distance Between base station Beltpack, Operating System Near Obstructions

Page 12

Keep the distance between the BTR and the TR as short as possible. The greater the distance, the weaker the signal. Make sure the “signal paths” be- tween the BTR and TR are unobstructed. You should be able to visibly locate the antennas at all times for best performance.

DO NOT - mount the base station 1/2-wave anten- nas on, or next to metal, such as beams, walls with metal studs, equipment racks, etc. This also applies to the antennas when assembled directly to the Base Station. This will “detune” the antennas which can result in noise or loss of RF signal at the Base Sta- tion, See Figure 15.
