Push gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it slides into
position.
4
Screw the barrel nut finger tight to retain the antenna.
Orientation
To establish good wireless communication (uplink), vertically align the antenna
always with respect to ground and sky. For example, if standing and holding the
terminal horizontally, position the antenna at an approximately 90° angle to the
unit (that is, pointing up from the printer). This should point the antenna directly at
the sky.
If the unit is on a flat surface (for example, a table top) position the antenna so that
it points directly at the sky.
NOTE
If an application (for example, SoftPay) is installed in your Omni 5xxx unit, a signal
strength indicator may appear on the display.

If your Omni 5xxx terminal has difficulties completing wireless transactions, you
may have to replace the antenna. Use the following procedure to replace the
antenna:
