The internal WiFi module has FCC modular approval and may only be
operated by connecting one of the GE MDS approved antennas (see
802.11 WiFi Module Specifications below) to the reverse-SMA con-
nector on the radio’s front panel. Only these antennas may be used. The
WiFi module can operate as an 802.11 Access Point or Infrastructure
Station, according to user configuration. The operational mode (
AP, Infra-
structure RM ) and frequency can be configured through the unit's user
interface.
