• Mounting Height
Ensure a clear line of sight between the wireless devices for an optimum
performance. An elevated location is recommended as obstacles like
trees, buildings and large steel structures will weaken the wireless signal.
See 'Q2' in 'FAQ' for details about how to calculate the minimum mounting
height of the devices.
