Antenna Installation 5Antenna InstallationIf your AIRAVE is ever unable to receive a GPS signal, itmay become necessary to improve the reception byinstalling the GPS antenna. This section outlines theinstallation of this external GPS antenna.In very rare cases, you may find that because of itscurrent location, the base station’s internal GPSantenna may not be able to properly receive andmaintain an active GPS signal. If the GPS signal is notdetected, as indicated by the LED, connect theincluded external GPS antenna.Without a valid GPS signal, the base station will notfunction. Any new calls will be redirected to the nearestcell tower.If the GPS signal is ever interrupted or insufficientbecause of location, install the external GPS antennaand place it in an open area for better reception.Connecting the GPS AntennaWhen positioning the GPS antenna, ensure that it is: Installed in a horizontal position. Adjacent to a closed window and in an openarea. This ensures a clear reception of the GPSsignal.Antenna InstallationWARNING: Use only the included Sprint-approved GPSantenna.Note: The GPS antenna receives signals from GlobalPositioning System satellites and uses them to obtaintime and location information.WARNING: Do not use duct tape to secure the GPS antennato its new location.Note: GPS signal strength can be greatly reduced in passingthrough walls or other hard surfaces.Sprint AIRAVE_Important_Info.book Page 5 Wednesday, February 17, 2010 7:37 AM
