Wireless Communication
1XRTT - Single Carrier (1x) Radio Transmission Technology
1xRTT is a pre-3G wireless technology based on the CDMA
platform. It has the capability to provide ISDN like speeds that
offer up to 144 Kbps (50-70 Kbps typical). 1xRTT is also referred
to as CDMA2000.
GPS (option)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio-
navigation system formed from a constellation of satellites and
their ground stations. GPS uses these satellites as reference
points to calculate positions accurate within five meters.
Bluetooth® (option)
Bluetooth is a short range, wireless technology. Bluetooth sys-
tems create a Wireless personal-area network (WPAN). When
Bluetooth-capable devices come within range of one another,
an electronic conversation automatically takes place to deter-
mine whether they have Bluetooth Services to share and
whether one needs to control the other. Then the devices hop
frequencies in unison so they stay in touch with one another
and avoid interference with other devices.
Bluetooth devices send out weak signals of 1 milliwatt. Your
computer is a Class II Bluetooth device with a range of about
ten meters. Even with the low power, the walls in your house
won’t stop a Bluetooth signal. This makes the standard use-
ful for controlling several devices in different rooms (audio,
printer, keyboard, mouse). However, obstructions such as
walls do degrade the signal and reduce its range.
Antennas
The GD6000 has several embedded antenna options to support
wireless communications. They require no user action.
# Antenna
1 CRMA Express Antenna
2 GPS Antenna
3 WLAN Antennas
4 Bluetooth / Diversity Antenna
Cautions Use only the supplied or approved antennas.
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 GD6000 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 not to be modified.
This device contains a WLAN radio transmitter and a WAN
radio transmitter. To comply with FCC RF exposure require-
ments when using the WAN radio transmitter, a minimum
separation distance of 20 cm must be maintained between the
external dipole antenna and all users/bystanders. When using
the WLAN transmitter, a minimum separation distance of 20
cm must be maintained between the upper right and left edges
of the display screen and all users/bystanders. The WAN radio
and WLAN transmitter should be turned off before carrying the
notebook PC in order to comply with FCC RF exposure require-
ments.
Since each customer’s radio configuration is unique, please
read the radio help installed on your desktop and refer to the
manufacturer documentation to setup and use your radio(s).
