How to install the Mini Antenna Set on your Terra Station
This pair of antennas will boost the detection range for Motus-compatible radio frequencies in the 434MHz and 2.4GHz range by 3dBi, increasing you ability to pick up radio tags used on birds, animals and insects.
Installation is easy and requires just 3 steps:
1. Screw each antenna onto your Terra Station’s antenna ports. Be sure to attach the correct antenna to each port. Note that the antennas are NOT interchangable.
2. Login to featherworks.terralistens.com with your Terra name and password.
Go to Terra Control Panel and switch on both External Antenna switches.
Click “Save”.
3. Now unplug and replug your Terra, and you’re done!
