towards the window.
ì
If you are using the outdoor antenna, align the antenna later.

The frequency scan begins automatically.
The frequency scan begins automatically. A progress bar indicates how far the scan has
progressed. In addition, you will see in the
Remaining time
area roughly how much
time is still needed for the complete scan. Depending on how your Gigaset SX685
WiMAX has been preconfigured by your provider, the scan can last several minutes
before the first radio connection is established.
As soon as a radio connection has been established with a WiMAX network, the scan will
end. The progress bar is fully filled in and the display in the
Remaining time
area jumps
to
0 seconds
.
ì
When a connection to a WiMAX network has been established, click on

to
make fine adjustments to the antenna.
If the scan has not been successful anappropriate message is output.
ì
In this case align the antenna differently and Gigaset SX685 WiMAX click
OK
to
restart the scan.
ì
If necessary, repeat the scan with all possible locations and alignments.
Once you have established a wireless connection to a WiMAX network, align your
Gigaset SX685 WiMAX or antenna precisely using the connection wizard.
To obtain precise alignment of the Gigaset SX685 WiMAX or antenna, turn it a little at a
time. If you use the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SX685 WiMAX, you can also move
the device a little at a time to optimise the reception quality.
The quality of the radio connection is represented graphically by a signal strength bar.
The longer the bar is, the better the radio connection. Try to obtain the best possible
radio connection setting.
ì
Turn or move the Gigaset SX685 WiMAX or turn the antenna a little at a time and
note the signal strength display. Use this to move the antenna to the position with
the best signal strength.
You can also determine the quality of the connection by how many of the 4 LEDs indi-
cating signal strength light up on the device (
RSSI 1
–
RSSI 4
). The more LEDs that light
up, the better the connection quality.
Note
During the scan, the Gigaset SX685 WiMAX or antenna must not be moved; this is
the only way to guarantee a complete scan with the current antenna alignment.
