Antenna Placement - Telex RadioCom BTR-200 II Operating Instructions Manual

ANTENNA PLACEMENT

Proper antenna placement probably has the
most effect on your TELEX Wireless Intercom
System's overall performance. The following
suggestions will result in optimum perfor-
mance.
Proper placement of the TR-200 can be criti-
cal. The trailing antennas should "dangle"
freely. "Wadding" the antennas up and placing
the TR-200 in a pocket, etc., will reduce sys-
tem distance.
It is suggested that the unit be worn on the belt
or pocket with both antenna's hung vertically
for best operating range and performance.

Proper Dressing of the Antennas
Keep the distance between the base (BTR-200)
and the belt packs (TR-200) antennas as short
as possible. The greater the distance, the
weaker the signal. However, the portables
should be a minimum distance of 10 feet from
the base station and each other for best perfor-
mance.

Distance Between BTR-200 and TR-200
Make sure the "signal paths" between the
BTR-200 and remotes are unobstructed. You
should always be able to visibly locate the an-
tennas at all times, for best performance.
