Orientation
To establish good wireless communication (uplink), it is
important that the antenna always be vertically aligned with
respect to ground and sky (Figure 10). For example, if
standing and holding the terminal, position the antenna at an
approximately 90° angle to the unit (that is, pointing up from
the printer). This should point the antenna directly at the sky.
If the unit is on a flat surface (for example, a table top) or
docked in the Omni 3600 base, position the antenna so that it
points directly at the sky. Soft detentes are felt and clicks
heard when positioning the antenna. These detentes maintain
an antenna position of 60°, 90°, and 180°.

If an application (for example, SoftPay) is installed in your
Omni 3600 unit, a signal strength indicator may appear on the
display.
