Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. • This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. • Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment 2.2 IC warning statement English "Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication." "This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device." French "Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante." "Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement."

All rights reserved Page 12 of 21 6 LNA Installation Correct installation Wrong installation Antenna BS The LNA connector must be directed downwards and not upwards • The LNA must be fixed on a support tube with a diameter between 30 to 50 mm. • The LNA is fixed on the mounting support 1 m away from the antenna (right or left). • The RF connectors are type N female. Installation recommendation • Ensure the waterproofness (must be 100%) of the connector with a self-vulcanizing scotch-seal (rubber mastic tape) , then with and finally with 2 zip tie-wraps • The tightening of RF connectors must be made manually. 7 Waterproofness Feeder cable, connectors, and overall cables, performance and lifetime strongly depend on waterproofness level. The main purpose of ensuring waterproofness is to avoid the direct contact with water and thus prevent oxidation of the connectors and also protect against steam, salt and dust, • The N connectors must be waterproofed self-vulcanizing scotch-seal (rubber mastic tape) , then with and finally with 2 zip tie-wraps (at the top and at the bottom connector).
