Ideally,theantennashouldbeverticaltothegroundandhaveaclearunobstructedviewofthesky.

Tips on Efficient Operation

Foryourdevicetooperatemostefficiently:

 Makesuretheantennahasaclearunobstructedviewofthesky.

 Donottouchtheantennaunnecessarilywhenthedeviceisinuse.

 Contactwiththeantennaaffectstransmission/receptionqualityandmaycausethedeviceto
