IMPORTANT: Before Installing, Note These Important Factors in Determining
Performance
1. At least 15
vertical feet is needed between the External Antenna (receives the outside signal)
and the Indoor Antenna (rebroadcasts the signal indoors). Separation less than 15 vertical feet
will result in decreased performance.
If the antennas are too close together, a solid ORANGE light will appear on the Base Unit -
see the Base Unit Light Indicators section (page 10). To capture the best signal, place the
External Antenna as high as possible.
2. Position the External Antenna vertically and keep it at least 3 feet
above any metal.
