• 

Note: At a signal strength 
below 12, a stable 
connection to the unit 
cannot be guaranteed.

• 

The installation must not 
be handed over before 
the signal strength is 12 
or more. In some cases 
it might be necessary to 
mount an external antenna.

• 

If an external antenna is 
mounted, this must be 
positioned in a place where 
it is not shielded, covered, 
or moved. Nor must it be 
mounted in closed metal 
cabinets.

•  Only use dual-band GSM 

antennas.

• 

Always complete the 
installation by sending an 
SMS (

=signal#

) to control 

the signal strength when 
all doors and cabinets are 
closed.
