RF401-series and RF430-series Spread Spectrum Radio/Modems

16755

2.4 GHz, 13 dBd ANTENNA, ENCLOSED YAGI,

allows vertical or horizontal polarization, MAXRAD

WISP24015PTNF, boom length 17 inches, diameter 3

inches, W/ END MOUNT to fit 1 to 2 in. O.D. mast

(requires antenna cable and possibly a surge protector;

see Section 4.5, Antenna Cables and Surge Protection).

FCC OET Bulletin No. 63 (October 1993)

Changing the antenna on a transmitter can significantly increase, or decrease,

the strength of the signal that is ultimately transmitted. Except for cable

locating equipment, the standards in Part 15 are not based solely on output

power but also take into account the antenna characteristics. Thus, a low

power transmitter that complies with the technical standards in Part 15 with a

particular antenna attached can exceed the Part 15 standards if a different

antenna is attached. Should this happen it could pose a serious interference

problem to authorized radio communications such as emergency, broadcast,

and air-traffic control communications.

In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements,

the RF401 and RF430 may be used only with

approved

antennas that have been tested with these radios and a

minimum separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained

from the antenna to any nearby persons.

Read Appendix A, Part 15 FCC Compliance Warning, of this manual for

important FCC information.
