Antenna Orientation

Ranger units require the use of external antennas for basic operation. For Ranger, we recommend

ONLY

using a Horizontal + Vertical (H+V) antenna configuration.

VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ANTENNAS

Vertical (V) antennas

are ideal for achieving diversity indoors and offer good performance in a wide

variety of short-to-medium range situations when quick setup and flexibility are key. Once you move
outdoors with the V antennas, the RF signals travel in a similar or identical manner toward the receiver,
weakening diversity.

Horizontal (H) antennas

were designed for use with the V antennas. H antennas

cause the RF signal from the transmitter to propagate perpendicularly compared to the vertical signal
from the V antenna. The

H+V antenna configuration

helps to maintain the quality and performance of

your video transmission, especially when your signal would otherwise begin to deteriorate due to noise
and/or longer ranges.

NOTE: H+V antennas must be attached to both the transmitter and receiver.
