User Manual Industrial Hotspot
Approved antennas in Europe/CE
The gain of the antenna connected to the main antenna port, minus the antenna
cable loss, must be less than 4 dB to stay below the 100-mW EIRP transmit
power limit.
The AUX port is only used to receive; it never transmits.
Note: In France, the user is responsible for ensuring that the selected frequency channels comply
with French regulatory standards. At the time of this printing, only channels 10 through 13 can be
used in France.
Approved antennas in Mexico
The gain of the antenna connected to the main antenna port, minus the antenna
cable loss, must be less than 12 dB to stay below the 650-mW EIRP transmit
power limit.
Note: In Mexico, the user is responsible for ensuring that the selected frequency channels comply
with Mexican regulatory standards. At the time of this printing, only channels 9 through 11 can be
used outdoors (1 through 8 cannot); however, channels 1 through 11 can all be used indoors.
Approved antennas with power amp
When the radio is used in conjunction with the amplifier, the antennas are limited
to antennas listed in the following table.
