Installation

Orientation

For some Omni 3600 terminals to establish a wireless connection, an external
antenna is provided. This connection allows communication with your service
provider to upload transaction data from the terminal and download system
upgrades to the terminal. Radio service is activated by your service provider.
Most Omni 3600 terminals have an internal antenna and this section can be
ignored.
Only use the antenna designed for your unit. Failure to use the proper antenna
results in the inability to establish a wireless connection.
Never hold the unit by the antenna; doing so may break the connection and void
your warranty.
Data transfers can also be performed through the Omni 3600 base (see
Omni 3600 Base Communications
This section only discusses Omni 3600 terminals with external antenna.
The Omni 3600 should arrive from manufacture with the antenna attached. If
unattached, use the following procedure to install the antenna:
1
Locate the antenna port on the side of the Omni 3600 terminal.
2
Align the respective "notch" inside the antenna to the key in the terminal
(Figure 18).
3
Push gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it locks in position.
Figure 18 Antenna Installation
To establish good wireless communication (uplink), it is important that the antenna
always be vertically aligned with respect to ground and sky
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.
