If you encounter poor signal strength try moving the handset to another location.
Locating the handset in the line of sight with the sign is the best practice.
To prevent decreased signal strength avoid locating the handset behind metal
surfaces and make sure the antenna does not come in contact with metal.
Radio waves have the ability to bend around and bounce off objects
(buildings, trucks, cars etc.)
Radio waves can also pass through most common building products
(glass, wood, tile, masonry, drywall).
Monitor the signal strength for a few minutes non stationary objects may move
potentially decreasing or increasing signal strength.
