Location and Mounting
Location
The locations of Magellan and its wireless transmitters affect
the overall performance of the wireless system. To ensure
the best signal reception, the following list of location criteria
should be respected whenever possible:
• Select an installation site that is free of obstacles that
reflect and absorb radio frequency (RF) signals, as well
as interference that may distort signals. Avoid
installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e.
neon lights, computers), and on or near metal objects,
circuit breakers boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts
since they may cause interference and reduce the
console’s sensitivity.
• Select a site that is not susceptible to drastic
temperature changes.
• Mount the Magellan console as central as possible to the
proposed placement of the wireless transmitters.
• Mount the Magellan console as high as possible.
• Avoid installing Magellan in the basement as the range
of the console is reduced when installed below ground
level. However, if it is absolutely necessary to install the
console in the basement, install the console as high as
possible and as close to the underside of the first floor as
possible.
• Install the Magellan console on a wall allowing at least
5cm (2”) around the console to permit adequate
ventilation and heat dissipation.
The Wall Plate
Magellan uses a plastic wall plate to stay mounted on a wall.
The wall plate is also used for tabletop mounting to cover
the back of the console as well as keep any wires within
their respective wire slots. After choosing an appropriate
location (see Location on page 11), mount the wall plate
onto the Magellan console as described in Mounting
Magellan on the Wall or Tabletop Mounting below. The
Magellan console is then secured to the wall plate through
two screws.

Mounting Magellan on the Wall
After mounting the wall plate (see The Wall Plate), the
Magellan console can be mounted as shown in above. To
do so:
1. Place the wall plate on the desired spot of the wall.
2. Drill and insert screws into holes labeled A as shown in
Figure 9 on page 11.
3. Place the console back plate flush against the mounted
wall plate.
4. Slide the Magellan’s open slots labeled D (see Figure 11
on page 11) onto the wall plate’s tabs labeled B (see
Figure 10 on page 11).
5. Gently apply downward pressure to insert the wall
plate’s tabs into Magellan’s open slots.
6. Insert two screws through the wall plate’s screw holes
labeled C and into holes labeled E (see Figure 10 on
page 11) in the Magellan back plate. This will secure the
console to the wall.
Tabletop Mounting
Magellan can also be mounted on a tabletop. This is a
useful convenience that allows Magellan to be situated on a
nightstand, desk, coffee table, etc. Included with Magellan
are two plastic feet as well as two rubber stops. The plastic
feet raise the Magellan console to a slight angle for easy
