Section 3: External GPS Antenna
If your Verizon Wireless Network Extender cannot receive a
Global Positioning System (GPS) signal, it may be necessary to
improve the reception by installing and then positioning the
external GPS antenna. This section outlines the installation and
relocation of this GPS antenna.
Antenna Installation
In some cases, you may find that because of its current location,
the base station’s GPS antenna may not be able to properly
receive an active GPS signal. If a stable GPS signal is not
detected, as indicated by the red GPS LED, you will need to install
the GPS antenna cable as explained in this section.
Without a valid GPS signal, the base station cannot function
properly, and calls will be redirected to the nearest compatible
cell tower.
Warning!:
Use only the GPS antenna supplied with your Verizon Wireless
Network Extender.
When positioning the GPS antenna, ensure that it is:
Installed in a horizontal position.
Adjacent to a window and in an open area. This ensures clear
reception of the GPS signal.
Note:
GPS signal strength is greatly reduced when passing through walls or
other hard surfaces.
To connect the GPS antenna to the Network Extender base
station, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the base station.
2. Rotate the antenna down to provide access to the GPS
antenna’s protective cover.
Note:
The GPS antenna receives signals from Global Positioning System
satellites and uses them to obtain time and location information.
