Best Practices and Troubleshooting
Best Practices
The items in the following sections are considered WatchGuard best
practices.
Note: These best practices are meant to help you have
the best experience possible with your HiFi Microphones
(HiFi Mics). They are not required.
Installation best practices
Keep the following best practices in mind when you install a HiFi Mic in
your vehicle:
l Use a short cable (3-foot) when you connect the HiFi Mic base to the DVR;
keeping the cable short helps maintain audio quality
l Use the 900 MHz antenna that you received from WatchGuard with the
HiFi Mic; using a different antenna can compromise wireless performance
and audio quality
l Install the antenna horizontally in the upper right corner of the
windshield (as you look out the windshield); this placement helps
minimize potential interference
l If you use two HiFi Mics in your vehicle, install the antennas horizontally
in the upper right and upper left corners of the windshield to keep them
as far apart as possible; these placements help minimize potential
interference
l Finger-tighten the SMA connector when you connect the antenna to the
base; using hand tools can damage the connector
Usage best practices
Keep the following best practices in mind when you use your HiFi Mic:
l Power off the transmitter (mic) before you put it in the base to charge
l If you have two HiFi Mics in your vehicle, but you are only using one of the
mics, dock the unused mic in its vehicle base; the unused empty base
can interfere with the HiFi Mic that is being used
