The signal strength of the mobile data connection can be changed by positioning the
magnetic base antenna. The current signal strength is indicated by the corresponding
level LEDs (see Table: Description of LED indicators). (ðSection4.5,Page13)
▪ Minimum sufficient signal strength is indicated by 2 level LEDs lighting up.
▪ Good signal strength is indicated by 3 level LEDs lighting up.
▪ Maximum signal strength is indicated by 4 level LEDs lighting up.
It is recommended that you position the magnetic base antenna such that 3 or 4 level
LEDs are lit during installation. (ðSection4.5,Page13)
1. Place the magnetic base antenna in a location that has sufficiently high mobile
network signal strength.
2. Check the level LEDs for mobile network signal strength.
3. If necessary, change the position of the magnetic base antenna and check again.
If this condition cannot be met, check whether a more powerful LTE antenna can be
installed using a longer cable (if required). In this scenario, an LTE antenna suitable
for outdoor installation is recommended in particular.
The antenna cable should not exceed 20 m in length.
