Improving signal strength
Radio signals can be blocked by many kinds of objects in the
environment. Trying to perform wireless transactions using a weak
signal requires more power from your batteries.
If you experience poor reception, often you can improve it simply by
moving five or ten feet in any direction away from the spot where
reception is poor. See “Wireless problems” in Appendix B for a list of
steps you can take to improve reception.
As you move around to improve reception, you can monitor the
increase or decrease in signal strength.
