Installing the i38HG (Inside Unit)
Avoiding obstructions
The wireless signal degrades with distance and obstructions (such as ceilings, walls,
and furniture). Consider the layout of your home or business when deciding where to
place your i38HG.
•
Consider where you will use your wireless devices when placing your i38HG. In a
single-story building, place the i38HG as high and as close to each wireless
computer as possible. To minimize interference, do not place the i38HG behind
large objects or other obstructions.
•
Place the i38HG in an open area where the wireless signal will not be directly
affected by surroundings. Wireless signal strength is much stronger in an open
area as opposed to an area with obstructions.
•
Keep the i38HG away from any large metal objects. Because metal objects can
reflect or obstruct signals, wireless signal quality and speed may be adversely
impacted.
Connecting the data cable
The data cable (phone cable) carries data from the i3822V to the i38HG through your
in-home phone wiring.
Note:
The phone cable is supplied by your service provider.
To connect the data cable:
1. Connect one end of the phone cable (green) to the phone wall outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the phone cable to the DATA port (green) of your i38HG.
