Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard
installation configuration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring
long lengths of cable and/or multiple connections), it's imperative that the installer
follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in accordance with the radio
communications regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC),
Industry Canada, or your country's regulatory body (if used outside the US).
Your RLXIC-EV will work with most PCS cellular antennas with a SMA connector
that works in the high and low frequencies of the cellular technology of your
modem. Connect the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly to the antenna
connector on the back of the RLXIC-EV.
Tip: When using a cable to an antenna placed away from the modem, minimize the length of your
cable. All gain from a more advantageous antenna placement can be lost with a long cable to the
modem.
Note: Use of receive diversity for EV-DO is optional. Data transmission and reception may be
adversely affected if it is not used.
To provide for diversity in the signal reception, connect the second antenna to
the second antenna port (SMA, labeled Rx Div ANT2) on the back of the RLXIC-
EV.
Caution: If you are not using a diversity antenna, you should disable the receive diversity option. In
ACEmanager, in the WAN/Cellular group, configure RX Diversity.
