4.2. Connecting the external antenna for wireless networking (recommended)
1. Screw the external antenna cable in to the socket of the uSee unit
2. Push the cable into the rubber grommet as it exits the enclosure

Siting the antenna: recommendations
These recommendations will help in optimizing the performance and reliability of the wireless connection:
1. Set up your router as close as possible to the centre of the area you want to provide wireless networking for.
2. Keep the antenna away from objects that cause wireless interference. Large metal objects, fluorescent or halogen
lights, microwaves, cordless phones and their base stations, and wall ducting or vents can block or interfere with
wireless signals.
3. Place the antenna in an elevated location.
4. Point the top of the antenna upwards if it is positioned below the coverage area. Point the top of the antenna down
if it is positioned above the coverage area, e.g., if it is wall-mounted near the ceiling.
