Tips for arranging the antenna:
Locate the antenna as far from metal elements as possible (connecting wires, bracket rings, etc.) in order to prevent interferences,
Metal surfaces in the direct vicinity of the antenna (e.g. flush mounted metal boxes, metal door frames) may impair signal reception!
Do not cut or shorten the antenna ? its length is perfectly matched to the band in which the system operates.
Make sure no part of the antenna sticks out of the wall switch box.
