Reception will increase according to the height of theantenna(s).• Mount the antenna(s) in a place with as few obstructions as possible between the antenna(s) and the plannedservice area.• To avoid interference, mount the antenna(s) and subscriber unit as far as possible from other antenna(s) andsubscriber units.• Keep the cable from the subscriber unit to the antenna(s) as short as possible and mount the antenna(s) asclose as possible to the subscriber unit. Using a cable longer than 2 m (6.6 ft) will result in greater loss and moreinterference, as the cable will act as an antenna itself.• Do not point the antenna(s) directly at populated areas.• Locate the antenna(s) at least 3.6 m (11.8 ft) from people and public areas.
