Connect an External Keyboard

You can attach a compact or standard external keyboard to make data entry easier. To attach a standard keyboard, you also need an appropriate USB cable.

1Mount the keyboard. For help, see the installation instructions that ship with the mounting kit.

2Connect the keyboard to the CV31:

•For compact keyboards, connect the keyboard cable to the AUX port on the computer.

•For standard keyboards, connect an appropriate USB cable to the computer, and then connect the keyboard to the USB cable.

About External Antennas

Use an external antenna to increase the signal strength of the wireless radio in the CV31. You can mount the antenna on a wall, forklift, or other flat surface with hardware or adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener material.

For most fixed installations, you should mount the antenna in a vertically- polarized position with the cable from the antenna parallel to the floor and ceiling. However, you may need to experiment with antenna position to find an orientation that provides the best antenna performance. Use the ISpyWiFi application that ships on the computer to determine which antenna position provides the best signal strength.
