FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT 

 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, 

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, 
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, 
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be 
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

•  

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•

IMPORTANT NOTE

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: 

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed 

and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, for the IBR650E the maximum antenna gain including cable loss must 
not exceed 4.55 dBi in the cellular band and 2.85 dBi in the PCS band. For the IBR650LE the maximum antenna gain including cable loss must not exceed 7.5 dBi in the cellular 
band, 3.01 dBi in the PCS band and 10.17 dBi in the LTE band. For the IBR650LP the maximum antenna gain including cable loss must not exceed 7.5 dBi in the cellular band, 3 
dBi in the PCS band, 5.5 dBi in LTE Band 4, and 9 dBi in LTE Band 17. For the IBR650W the maximum antenna gain including cable loss must not exceed 9.2 dBi in the 2.5 GHz 
band (2496-2690 MHz). For the IBR650P the maximum antenna gain including cable loss must not exceed 5 dBi in the cellular band and 3.3 dBi in the PCS band. 

SAFETY AND HAZARDS  

Under no circumstances should the IBR650 device be used in any areas (a) where blasting is in progress, (b) where explosive atmospheres may be
