How should the Seeed-XIAO ESP32-S3 antenna be mounted?

I bought a Seeed Studio Xiao ESP32-S3 microcontroller. This device comes with a WiFi/BT antenna. The antenna is a flexible ‘plastic’ rectangle with one sticky side. It looks like it should be mounted or stuck to something but I can’t find any details about the antenna. Some guidance is appreciated.

Hi Steve, it’s generally enough to mount these to the inside of whatever (plastic) enclosure you might be using. Avoid creasing, or mounting near large metal items.

If you’re just prototyping on the bench it’s fine to leave the antenna flapping about - just be careful not to crease the antenna or yank the lead

Thanks Michael I appreciate the help. It’s working well.
