User's Manual

1. Try all sides of a building to see which side provides the strongest radio signal.
2. Move from under trees. Pine needles absorb radio signals more than leaves.
3. Move away from overhead electrical wires.
4. Radio signals reflect off other buildings. Even in the signal shadow, the signal could be reflected back by
another building.
5. Try not to hold the unit. If possible, place it in vehicle, on a cabinet or desk.
6. If holding the unit, turn the unit in 90-degree increments to avoid shielding it with your body.
7. The signal is 1-2 feet across; therefore, moving several feet in any direction may give different results.
Inside a Building
1. Move toward windows.
2. Signals do not penetrate ground; therefore, there will probably be no signal in basements.
3. Reflective coatings on windows reflect radio signals. Try the side of the building that is least likely to have
coated windows.
4. Closed metal blinds can reflect radio signals.
5. Dropped ceilings sometimes hide an accumulation of electrical cable.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
1. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is generated by switching circuitry closets or Un-interruptable Power
Source (UPS) systems found near computer rooms and can block the radio signal.
2. Look for significant sources of electromagnetic radiation. Problems may emanate from a source between your
location and the radio base station.
Antennas
The GoBook MR-1 has several embedded antenna options to support wireless communications. They require no
user action.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna(s). Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments may void your warranty and could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of FCC
regulations.
The GoBook MR-1 may contain the radio transmitters listed below. The following statements are relevant when
using these radios:
Each internal radio may or may not have an individual FCC Identifier label. That FCC Identifier label is not
applicable to this configuration. Only the external FCC ID is applicable. Only the antenna with which an intentional
radiator is authorized may be used with the intentional radiator.
The WLAN embedded dual antennas are located internally in the upper right and left edges of the display screen and
are not to be modified. This device contains a WLAN radio transmitter and a WAN radio transmitter. To com
