To prevent damage in transit, QBoxes are shipped with the aerial detached. Before switching on the power to the
QBox ensure the aerial is securely fastened to the socket on the front of the unit.

Note: The aerial must be attached when operating a QBox. Operation of the unit without an

aerial will result in damage to the wireless interface and will void your warranty.

Wireless connections can be either be via an access point to your existing network infrastructure or set up as a
standalone network between a computer running the QMaster software and one or more QBoxes.

Wireless performance can be affected by many factors, including the nature of surrounding buildings, other
networks in operation and atmospheric conditions.
