Cooper Bussmann 615M-1 Cellular Data Modem and IP Router Series Manual
Rev Version 1.0
Modem Use
The 615M-1 Series modems are designed and intended for use in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed” assumes
the device is physically secured at one location and not easily moved to another location. Always keep the cellular
antenna a distance of at least 20 cm (8 in.) from anyone’s head or body while the modem is in use. This modem is
designed for use in applications that observe the 20 cm separation distance.
Interference Issues
Avoid possible radio frequency (RF) interference by following these guidelines:
