Please check the following on completion of the installation:
1. Ensure all bolts & nuts are tight.
2. Ensure the cables are routed in a safe manner and is not a future hazard around the home or workplace.
3. Ensure all cable connection to the device are tight.
IMPORTANT: Some data cards or modems will only detect the connector of an external antenna on power up.
NOTE: Signal strength may be displayed either graphically with bars where more bars mean stronger signal strength or
as a signal level value in dBm where the closer to 0 (zero), the better. For example, a signal level of -75dBm is better than
a signal level of -85dBm.
