User's Manual

Choosing the Antennas
Antenna section is dependent on whether the Bi-Directional amplifier is being used or not. The
minimum distance column in the tables below dictates how far the antennas must be separated from
users for safe exposure limits according to FCC Part 2.1091.
Approved Antennas
Antennas Approved for Use without Bi-Directional Amplifier
When the module is connected directly to an antenna, the following antennas may be used:
Antennas for Use with Amplifier
When the module is used in conjunction with the Amplifier, the antennas are limited to those below:
Note: To prevent high gain antennas from being used with an amplifier, Parabolic
antennas will not be sold if the user is ordering an amplifier.
* Mobile devices are defined by the FCC as transmitters designed to be used in other than fixed
locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20cm is normally
maintained between radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons. In the context, the
term “fixed location” means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be
easily moved to another location. For fixed locations a separation distance of at least 1m is normally
maintained between radiating structures and the body of the user or nearby persons.
