Orientation
To establish good wireless communication (uplink), vertically align the antenna
with respect to ground and sky. For example, if standing and holding the terminal
horizontally, position the antenna approximately at a 90° angle to the unit (that is,
pointing up from the ground). This should point the antenna directly at the sky.
If the unit is on a flat surface (for example, a table top) position the antenna so that
it points directly at the sky.
Replacing the
Antenna
If your V
x
610 terminal has difficulties completing wireless transactions, you may
have to replace the antenna. Use the following procedure to replace the antenna:
1 Remove the existing antenna from the V
x
610 terminal:
a Unscrew the barrel nut to loosen the antenna.
b Pull gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it slides out of
position.
2 Align the connector on the end of the new antenna with the connector on the
end of the terminal.
3 Push gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it slides into
position.
4 Screw the barrel nut finger tight to retain the antenna.
NOTE
If an application (for example, SoftPay) is installed in your V
x
610 unit, a signal
strength indicator may appear on the display.
