Positioning
Do not drill any additional holes or do not screw any additional screws into
the housing when mounting the antenna, as doing so could damage it.
When setting up the antenna, make sure that it has a secure footing and is
on a stable surface, as people could be injured if the device is dropped.
Avoid placing the antenna near devices that can transmit interference (e.g.,
microwave ovens, cordless phones, powerful engines, etc.).
You should also not install the device close to large metal surfaces, because
these may significantly weaken the received signal.
Place the antenna at the highest possible location, since experience shows
that this is where the reception is the best. Installing it close to a window
may also improve reception.
• Place the antenna on a plane surface, near your receiver.
• After the connection, it may be necessary to alter a little, the antenna’s position, for
achieving the best possible reception.
