 Antenna (Some      For some Omni 3600 terminals to establish a wireless connection, an external
Wireless Models)    antenna is provided. This connection allows communication with your service
                    provider to upload transaction data from the terminal and download system
                    upgrades to the terminal. Radio service is activated by your service provider.

          NOTE      Most Omni 3600 terminals have an internal antenna and this section can be
                    ignored.
                    Only use the antenna designed for your unit. Failure to use the proper antenna
                    results in the inability to establish a wireless connection.

          CAUTION
                    Never hold the unit by the antenna; doing so may break the connection and void
                    your warranty.


                    Data transfers can also be performed through the Omni 3600 base (see
                    Omni 3600 Base Communications Ports).
                    This section only discusses Omni 3600 terminals with external antenna.

                    Installation
                    The Omni 3600 should arrive from manufacture with the antenna attached. If
                    unattached, use the following procedure to install the antenna:
                    1 Locate the antenna port on the side of the Omni 3600 terminal.
                    2 Align the respective “notch” inside the antenna to the key in the terminal
                       (Figure 18).
                    3 Push gently on the center of the base of the antenna until it locks in position.




                    Figure 18      Antenna Installation

                    Orientation
                    To establish good wireless communication (uplink), it is important that the antenna
                    always be vertically aligned with respect to ground and sky (Figure 19). For
                    example, if standing and holding the terminal horizontally, position the antenna at
                    an approximately 90° angle to the unit (that is, pointing up from the printer). This
                    should point the antenna directly at the sky.

                                                                           OMNI 3600 REFERENCE MANUAL       21


O MNI 3600 TERMINAL AND O MNI 3600 B ASE I NSTALLATION
Omni 3600 Base



                               If the unit is on a flat surface (for example, a table top) or docked in the Omni 3600
                               base, position the antenna so that it points directly at the sky. Soft detentes are
                               felt and clicks heard when positioning the antenna. These detentes maintain
                               antenna positions of 60°, 90°, and 180°.




                               Figure 19        Correct Antenna Position for Uplink
                               If an application (for example, SoftPay) is installed in your Omni 3600 unit, a
                               signal strength indicator may appear on the display.

                               Replace the Antenna
                               If your Omni 3600 terminal has difficulties completing wireless transactions, you
                               may have to replace the antenna. Use the following procedure to replace the
                               antenna:
                               1 Remove the existing antenna from the Omni 3600 terminal:
                                    a Rotate the antenna to align with the base of the unit, pointing away from
                                        the back.
                                    b Grasp the base of the antenna, close to the body of the terminal.
                                    c Pull gently out until the antenna unsnaps from the antenna port.
                               2 Align the respective notch inside the new antenna to the key in the antenna
                                    port on the terminal (Figure 18).
                               3 Push gently on the center of the base of the newly installed antenna until it
                                    locks in position.
