Quick Start Quick Start
Set Up & Installation
Flex Antenna
Ÿ Orient the Flex Antenna so that the radiation field provides maximum
coverage of the desired area. Keep in mind what will be tracked
with the antenna - personnel will carry Tags in their shirt or pants
pocket, Tags on laptops will be carried closer to the floor.
If mounting the Flex Antenna on the ceiling, mount it flat with the front
surface facing the floor.
Step 4 : Position the antenna in its approximate final location - but
do not permanently install it at this time. Have someone
hold or place the antenna in various positions until the
desired
coverage is acheived.
Step 5 : Test the system by positioning the LED Test Tag at strategic
points to ensure complete coverage including mounting it to
assets. It will light up and flash when it is within the field.
Step 6 : Permanently mount the Flex Antenna.
