8. Antenna
8.1. Detachable Antennas
This LTE Router device, CR48NA integrates LTE (4G) and Wi-Fi radio function.
Detachable Antenna Guidelines
This equipment complies with the FCC and IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. While EUT operates for Wi-Fi 2.4G/5G and UMTS concurrently, the antenna should be
installed and operated with a minimum distance of 31cm between the radiator and the human body
8.2. Antenna – Installation Guidelines
When installing the antenna to The Router product line there are many items to consider so good antenna
performance can be maintained.
•
Install the antenna in a place covered by the LTE signal.
•
Antenna must not be installed inside a metal case.
•
Antenna shall also be installed according to the Antenna manufacturer instructions.
•
Antenna integration should optimize the Radiation Efficiency. Efficiency values >50% are
recommended on all frequency bands for any antennas selected.
•
Antenna integration should not dramatically perturb the radiation pattern. It is preferable to get,
after antenna installation, an omnidirectional radiation pattern for the best overall coverage.
•
At least 31cm of separation distance between the antennas, the collocated router transmitters, and
the human body must be maintained always.

9.3. FCC General Warning
Revision: 1.3
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B Digital Device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide 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
and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and the 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.
CAUTION:
Operations in the 5.15-5.25GHz band are restricted to indoor usage only.
Any changes or modification no expressly approved by the grantee of the device could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
