Only use PowerTrunk approved antennas with this product. The use of non-approved antennas may
damage the product, will result in the non-compliance with regulatory requirements, will compromise the
product safety ratings, will reduce the length of operating time and will invalidate the product warranty.
Once the antenna has been installed, follow the guidelines for exposure of the human body to high
and low frequency electromagnetic fields. Follow the supplier’s / manufacturer’s instructions.
NEVER use your device without an antenna attached. Transmitting without an antenna may damage
your device
NEVER touch the antenna when your device is transmitting. This may cause a minor burn to the skin
and may affect the operational range of the antenna.
NEVER use your device if the antenna shows signs of damage.
