RTS RKP-4B Stereo Receiver User Manual


 
Keep the distance between the base station and the beltpacks
as short as possible. The greater the distance, the weaker the
signal. Make sure the “signal paths” between the base station
and beltpacks are unobstructed. You should be able to visibly
locate the base station antennas at all times for best perform-
ance.
Attempting to operate the wireless intercom system through
or around walls, ceilings, metal objects, etc. will reduce sys-
tem range and performance.
DO NOT - mount the base station 1/2-wave antennas on, or
next to metal, such as beams, walls with metal studs, equip-
ment racks, etc. This also applies to the antennas when assem-
bled directly to the Base Station. This will “detune” the anten-
nas which can result in noise or loss of RF signal at the base
station.
Keeping the distance from the base station and beltpack as
short, and unobstructed as possible will produce the most reli-
able performance.
The base station is supplied with two antennas. This should
provide satisfactory system performance in most applications.
System range can be enhanced by remoting the 1/2-wave
antennas.
