3 Components and Power Supply

• Keep the antenna away from metal pipes such as canals air-conditioning.

• Please bear in mind that other wireless devices such as telephones, microwaves, etc., can temporarily interfere

with the quality of the wireless signal.

• We do not recommend that you install the antennas near or between racks containing communication devices,

computers, etc. Use an extension cable and place the antenna outside.

The following recommendations are applicable to all wireless devices:

• Do not touch or move the antenna while the device is transmitting or receiving.

• Whenever the antenna is transmitting, do not touch any equipment that contains devices that radiate very close to,

or touching, any exposed part of the body (particularly the face and eyes).

• Do not install the device in areas where the atmosphere is potentially explosive.

• Wireless devices can cause interference in other devices. Do not use the device in areas where medical equip-

ment is installed.

3.7.4 Connecting the Wireless LAN Antenna (Wi-Fi connectors)

The OA5725A routers have two connectors to connect an external antenna which improves the quality of the signal

received and transmitted through the Wireless LAN module. This module is optional; it is possible that your device

does not have Wireless LAN and consequently no antennas. To assemble and disassemble the antennas, simply

screw antennas' cable connectors into the connectors labeled WI-FI.

So that the Wireless LAN interface is operative, the device must have a plug-in Wireless LAN card and the corres-

ponding software license. If your device does not have a Wireless LAN module, you can obtain this later on. The

manual accompanying this module will indicate how to install it, as well as the corresponding antenna cables in the

device.

The OA5725A routers have an additional connector to connect a GPS external antenna. This module is optional, so

your device may not have internal GPS and, consequently, no antenna. To assemble and disassemble the antenna,

simply screw the antenna cable connector into the connector labeled GPS located on the device front panel.
