Degradation in signal strength can be the result of a disturbance from another source, for example an electronic device in the immediate vicinity. More information about possible communication disturbances can be found in section 8.3.5, page 59.

When an application is completed, you can verify signal strength by issuing the AT command AT+CSQ or AT*E2EMM. See the AT Commands Manual for further details.

Before installing the wireless modem, use an ordinary mobile telephone

to check a possible location for it. In determining the location for the

radio device and antenna, you should consider signal strength as well

TIP as cable length.

7.4.1.3Connection of Components to Wireless modem

The integrator is responsible for the final integrated system. Incorrectly designed or installed, external components may cause radiation limits to be exceeded. For instance, improperly made connections or improperly installed antennas can disturb the network and lead to malfunctions in the wireless modem or equipment.

7.4.1.4Network and Subscription

Before the integrator’s application is used, the user must ensure that their chosen network provides the necessary telecommunication services. Integrators should contact their service provider to obtain the necessary information.

Integrators intending to use SMS in the application should ensure this is included in their (voice) subscription.

Similarly, integrators intending to use GPRS for data services should also ensure that this service is available on their network and in their account plan.

Users should consider the choice of the supplementary services described in section 2.3.2Short Message Service, page 14.
