Keep the distance between the base station and the beltpacks as short as possible. The greater the distance, the weaker the signal. Make sure the “signal paths” between the base station and beltpacks are unobstructed. You should be able to visibly locate the base station antennas at all times for best perfor- mance.

DO NOT - mount the base station 1/2-wave antennas on, or next to metal, such as beams, walls with metal studs, equip- ment racks, etc. This also applies to the antennas when assem- bled directly to the Base Station. This will “detune” the antennas which can result in noise or loss of RF signal at the base station.

Keeping the distance from the base station and beltpack as short, and unobstructed as possible will produce the most reli- able performance.

The base station is supplied with two antennas. This should provide satisfactory system performance in most applications. System range can be enhanced by remoting the 1/2-wave an- tennas.
