Sentinel HDX Quick Start Manual And Installation Manual - page 7
The 802.11 wireless radio shares many of the same considerations as the GPS unit, the main
difference is the fact that the signal path is terrestrial. Wireless signal strength, integrity, and
associated data transfer rates are highly dependent on the wireless network’s topology. Access
point locations, antenna geometries, and localized wireless spectrum dynamics all have an
effect on link quality. Detailed guidance in this regard is beyond the scope of this document.
Please consult your IT professional for optimization in your particular environment. In general,
direct line of sight with the access point, the shortest physical distance, and minimizing external
interference represent the best plan. This equipment should be installed and operated with
minimum distance 10 cm between the radiator and your body.
The HDx Bluetooth module is the least sensitive of the 3 radios to unit placement. Following
above considerations will accommodate the requirements of Bluetooth without further
requirements
