2.1 Installation Considerations

The Traveler 3G II allows you access your network using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit this range.

Typical ranges are vary depending on the types of materials used, and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business.

To maximize your wireless range, please follow these guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Traveler 3G II and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce the Traveler 3G II’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).

Note: The same considerations apply to your broadband EVDO connection.

2. Keep your product away from electrical devices (such as microwaves, air conditioners, and televisions) that emit large quantities of RFI (Radio Frequency Interference).
