Tip: When using a cable to an antenna placed away from the
modem, minimize the length of your cable. All gain from a more
advantageous antenna placement can be lost with a long cable to the
modem.

Note: When using a DC power
source (such as a car battery or
solar cell), Sierra Wireless
recommends placing a fuse (1-2
Amp) on the line close to the
power source to protect your
power source from possible
surges due to shorts or other line
issues.
