3.2 Installing Antennas
To install the antennas, remove them from the plastic covers and screw them into the antenna connectors.
WARNING: The antennas supplied with the kit are the only antennas approved to be used with the device. Use of
any other antennas will void the regulatory approvals.
Figure 11 shows the M2M System and the 2x 802.11/802.15.4 antennas that accompany every SKU. Antennas
should be screwed in to the top antenna connectors on either side of the systems. The antennas have an elbow so
that the antennas can be aimed as needed or left straight. A good starting point is to aim both antennas up as shown
in figure 13. The flexibility of being able to aim the antennas in different directions may be needed if the unit mounting
necessitates antenna direction changes for improved coverage. 3G antennas (if provided as part of the SKU) should
be connected to the bottom connectors.
