Appendices 27

To maximize your wireless range:

1.Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the transmitter and receiver to a minimum – each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless product’s range.

2.Be aware of the direct line between your transmitter and receiver. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45° angle appears to be almost

3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2° angle, it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position your devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling for better reception.

3.Building materials can impede the wireless signal – a solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to position your wireless devices and computers with wireless adaptors so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

4.Keep your LongView Wireless transmitter and receiver away (at least 3 to 6 feet or 1 to 2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF noise.
