Mounting When mounting your end device, care should be taken to make sure it is as far away from any metal objects. - Page 19 End Device Operation In order to achieve maximum range, the football-shaped path in which radio waves travel must be free of all obstructions. Obstacles in the path (especially metal) will decrease the communication range between your End Device and receiver. Also, If the antennas are mounted just barely off the ground, over half of the Fresnel zone ends up being obstructed by the earth resulting in significant reduction in range.
