Operating Instructions, 10/2016, RC1260-EN-02

Frequency bands in Europe, China, the USA and other regions

Depending on the frequency bands used by your mobile wireless provider, antennas must be

tuned to the following frequencies:

In Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Australia:

– GSM 900 MHz
– DCS 1800 MHz
– UMTS 2100 MHz
– LTE 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2600 MHz depending on the provider

In the USA:

– LTE 700 MHz, 1900 MHz
– PCS 1900 MHz (also for UMTS)

In Korea:

– UMTS 2100 MHz

Check with your mobile wireless provider for the suitable frequencies.

Signal quality

During installation make sure that there is a good signal strength of > -73 dBm.
If the "Q" LED is lit permanently, the signal quality is good. For more detailed information,

refer to the section "LED display (Page Error! Bookmark not defined.)".
Avoid large metal objects in the immediate vicinity.
