without frequency coordination, an interference problem will likely exist. Should 
this occur, contact the Clear-Com factory or your sales representative for 
assistance.

ANTENNAS

Proper mounting and placement of antenna(s) is vitally important in wireless 
systems. If overlooked, antennas could cause unnecessary problems. For best 
results, always provide a clear, unobstructed line-of-sight path between the 
transmitter and receiver(s).

While the antenna may be concealed behind fabric, thin plastic, acoustic tile or 
thin plywood without significantly affecting performance, close proximity to 
metallic objects should be avoided. These include: furniture, lighting fixtures, 
scaffolding, electrical cables, metal structural members, aluminum window 
frames, and equipment cabinets. Whip and dipole antennas require at least 5 
inches (12.7 cm) of space from metal surfaces. 

Other types of antennas may require greater spacing. Follow those 
manufacturers’ recommendations.

Generally, it is advisable to contact the Clear-Com factory, your sales 
representative, or distributor prior to returning equipment for repair. Often, the 
problem can be resolved by telephone, avoiding downtime for unnecessary 
returns. However, should repairs be necessary, Clear-Com will promptly correct 
the problem and return the unit.

• If the frequency of other 

wireless equipment in the 

area is known, 

interference-free 

operating frequencies can 

be chosen.

• Whip and dipole 

antennas require at least  

5 inches (12.7 cm) of 

space from metal 

surfaces.
