Antenna Placement
Improving Reception and Increasing Range
Keeping the distance from the base station and
beltpack as short, and unobstructed as possible will
produce the most reliable performance.
The base station is supplied with two antennas. This
should provide satisfactory system performance in
most applications. System range can be enhanced
by remoting the 1/2-wave antennas.
If a multiple base station system is being config-
ured, it is best to use a splitter/combiner (SC-600)
with remote antennas for the best performance.

1. Placing BTRs in a shelf or
equipment rack and using re-
mote antennas is OK.
2. Placing the BTR on top of a
shelf or equipment rack un-
obstructed without remoting
the antennas is OK.
3. Placing BTRs in a shelf or
equipment rack with the an-
tennas mounted on the back
of the BTR or the side of the
rack is bad.
