Siemens GIGASET SE681 WIMAX User Manual page 27

If the scan has not been successful:
Both the integrated antenna and the Siemens outdoor antenna are directional anten-
nae; this means that they must at least be pointing roughly in the direction of a WiMAX
network base station in order to establish a radio connection.
If the scan was unsuccessful, align the antenna differently:
If you are using the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX:
ì
Turn your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX by approx. 60°.
Correct:
Incorrect:
ì
Click on Ok to restart the scan.
You must not move the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX during the scan. You
i
should therefore always place the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX upright and on
a level surface directly by the window.
If the scan has still not been successful with the alignment changed:
ì
Place the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX by a window that faces a different direction.
ì
If necessary, repeat the scan with all possible locations and alignments.
ì
If necessary, ask your provider for the location of the nearest WiMAX network base
station and select a location for your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX that points towards this
base station.
The best results will be obtained if the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX is in sight of a WiMAX net-
work base station.
If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect the radio waves off neighbouring build-
ings. To do this, direct the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX at the building it is to reflecting off and
not at the WiMAX network base station.
