(Optionally) Installing the Wi-Fi Antenna

Note: To mount the antennas remotely, see (Optionally) Installing the Antennas Remotely.

Wi-Fi is required only for initial setup. If the laptop used for configuration is close enough, the Wi-Fi signal strength should be adequate without mounting the antenna. However, if Wi-Fi will be used (as a wireless access point or client) for operation on the job site, be sure to install the antenna and change the Wi-Fi defaults during the configuration. (See Configuring Wi-Fi Settings).

  1. Screw on the included Wi-Fi antenna.

    Note: Use only the supplied or approved replacement antennas.

  2. Secure each antenna by tightening the rotating head of the connector until it firmly holds the antenna in the preferred position.
