2.1 POSITIONING STARGATE™
Before connecting the STARGATE™ base station, it is first necessary to position it
so that the RF transmission and reception is possible.
To position STARGATE™, bear in mind the following fundamental guidelines:
1. the maximum distance between base station and RF device is about 50 m (30 m
for STARGATE™ USA model) in surfaces which are perpendicular to the base
station antenna;
2. the effective radio coverage depends on the physical structure of the
environment in which it operates, and to the presence or absence of obstacles
(metal structures, walls, electrical systems, etc.);
3. the base station operates at temperatures between -20° (-4°) and + 50 °C (+122
°F), with humidity at less than 90% (no condensation);
4. to obtain the best reception/transmission performance, mount the
STARGATE™ base station away from large metal structures which could absorb
or reflect Radio Frequency;
STARGATE™ can be mounted for desktop usage or it can be fixed to a wall.
2.1.1 Desktop Use
For desktop use, STARGATE™ is already correctly positioned :
1. Carefully clean the rubber feet seat of the STARGATE™ base to remove any
impurities that could reduce adhesion;
2. Remove the protective plastic from the rubber feet and stick them onto the
bottom surface of the base;
3. Insert the antenna in the appropriate hole on the body of the base station and
screw it clockwise until tight.
CAUTION
If working with a STARGATE™ USA model, skip step 3, since the
antenna is fixed and not removable.
