The GSM dialler has a built-in antenna for transmitting data to the
GSM network. It is essential to test the reception level to
determine the best place to install the dialler. If the tests are not
satisfactory, an external antenna can be installed (see 12.4).
1. Position the GSM dialler in the place where it is to be installed.
2. Proceed as follows:
