SAFETY
The HP ProCurve J8997A and all associated equipment should be
installed in accordance with applicable local and national electrical code
guidelines to ensure safe operation.
Before connecting an external antenna to an HP ProCurve Wireless
Access Point, be sure that the access point radio power levels are set
in accordance with local regulatory requirements. For information on
setting radio power levels, see Transmit power control in the
MSM3xx/4xx Access Points Management and Conguration Guide . For
antenna power settings by country/region, visit the online manuals page
for your access point at www.hp.com/go/procurve/manuals.
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to
install and use this product.

APPLICATION
The HP ProCurve J8997A is a ceiling-mounted spatial omnidirectional
array. Two independent vertically polarized radiators provide null-free
onmidirectional coverage for meeting rooms, ofces, departmental areas,
or other enclosed spaces.
NOTE
This antenna is intended for indoor installation only.
ANTENNA LOCATION
For best results, mount the J8997A at ceiling level near the center of the
coverage area. A line-of-sight path between the antenna and active oor
locations works best. Although 5 GHz signals penetrate cubical dividers
and interior partitions with little attenuation, reinforced block walls, banks
of metal cabinets, glass walls, or steel shelving may attenuate signals
or cause multipath, a condition where reected signals interfere with the
primary signal.
