reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
2.1.3 FCC Approved Antennas
The RF200A modules are FCC-approved for fixed base station and mobile applications.
The FCC requirement for mobile applications states that the antenna must be mounted
at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons.
Notice: To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its
gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that permitted for successful communication. The RF200PD1 module has
been designed to operate with the antennas listed below in Table 2.1. The required
antenna impedance is 50 ohms. The RF200APF1 has a built-in F-antenna.
