antenna slots are available all the time. Second, a beltpack constantly searches
for the best antenna signal, and may frequently switch antennas. To make this
transmission seamless, a beltpack maintains the connection to its current antenna
until it is confident that the new antenna is functioning well. Therefore, for a short
period of time during this transition, a single beltpack can occupy slots on more
than one antenna.

This means that for zones likely to need coverage for five or more beltpacks
simultaneously it is recommended that a second antenna is installed. Similarly,
for good coverage for nine or more beltpacks simultaneously, a third antenna may
be required.

Conditions affecting coverage areas
The environment in which a system is located affects the coverage area for any
particular beltpack/antenna combination. The presence of walls, floors, ceilings,
trees, shrubbery, people, and numerous other items may affect the coverage
zone. Metallic objects, safety doors, lighting equipment, and bodies of water may
possibly block transmission. These factors must be taken into consideration when
planning the installation.

Registering beltpacks
Before you can use a beltpack, you must first register it with the FreeSpeak II
system.
