Standard Placement
Standard placement for the Range Extender
Antenna is on a stable, flat surface such as a
desktop, or on top of a file cabinet. This type of
placement is most common when using the
antenna in combination with desktop computers.
!
CAUTION:
The antenna base is made of synthetic
materials, and may cause a chemical
reaction if placed on a light-colored, coated
surface. This chemical reaction may cause
discoloration of the surface. Attempting to
remove the discoloration may be
impossible without further discoloring or
possibly damaging the coated surface.
Alternative Placement
The Range Extender Antenna can also be mounted
on a wall or ceiling. This type of placement is
typical when using the Range Extender Antenna
in combination with your Wireless Access Point
520wl.
To mount the antenna on the wall or ceiling:
1. Remove the base from the antenna
2. Secure the antenna to the wall or ceiling as
pictured above, using the plug and screw
provided.
NOTE:
Concealing the antenna behind thick stacks
of books, cabinets or other office
equipment will affect the wireless
performance of your device.

and connector assembly.
2. The range of wireless products may vary according
to the physical environment where the product is
used. The performance increase is calculated as a
proportional increase of the range as specified for
the HP Wireless AP Card 150wl in typical office
environments:
• In ‘Open Office’ environments antennas can “see”
each other, i.e. there are no physical obstructions
between the antennas.
• In ‘Semi-open Office’ environments, work space is
divided by shoulder-height, hollow wall elements;
antennas are at desktop level.
The range increase values listed between brackets apply
to situations where the Range Extender Antenna is
installed on both ends of a wireless link.
!
CAUTION:
The radiated output power of the HP Wireless
AP Card 150wl and Range Extender Antenna is far
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the antenna should be mounted so as to
minimize the potential for human contact during
normal operation.
