Notices

The antenna should be mounted 3.5m above the deck in order to meet RF exposure requirements. Higher gain antennas will require a 
greater MPE radius. Do not operate the unit when anyone is within the MPE radius of the antenna (unless they are shielded from the 
antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier). The antenna should not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other 
transmitting antenna. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Warranty

This product is supplied with standard warranty as defined in the accompanying warranty information.
