3.5.1 Mounting The Antenna
Always mount the antenna according to the manufacturer’s specifications. In a normal
design, we suggest that you mount the antenna first. Ensure the antenna is watertight.
Use a sealant to keep out any moisture.
When choosing a modem antenna, you should select one that meets these specifications:
•
Amps cellular frequency band (824 – 896 MHz)
•
TNC male, 50-ohm connector
•
2.0 dBi (+/- 0.5 dB) (antenna gain may not exceed 2.5 dBi)
Caution
Use only with an approved antenna.
We’ve tested and recommend the following antennas:
•
Larsen NMOQ SPEC 825BTNC
•
Antennas America F800 (for use in a covert antenna design)
Tips for mounting an external antenna (normal layout)
•
Mount the antenna according to manufacturer’s specifications.
•
Do not install a glass mount antenna on metallic glass or with the antenna conductor
placed over the rear window heating wires.
•
Do not install a roof mount antenna on a fiberglass or plastic surface.
Caution
In order to meet the FCC’s requirements for Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE), the antenna must be mounted
such that no persons (users or bystanders) may come within
30 cm (1 ft) of the antenna while radiating.
