Approved Antennas
It is important to keep the radio’s antenna a safe distance from the user. In order to
meet the requirements of FCC part 2.1091 for radio frequency radiation exposure, this
module must be used in such a way as to guarantee at least 20 cm between the antenna
and the body, or more for high gain antennas. The FCC requires a minimum distance
from the user of 1mW cm2 squared power density” or 20cm, whichever is the greater
distance.
If a specific application requires a proximity of less than 20cm, the application must be
approved through the FCC for compliance to part 2.1093.
At the time of this printing, the antennas listed below were the only antennas approved
for use with the OS2400 Radio Modem. Use of other antennas must be approved
through Locus, Inc.
