The RF-100 is a passive, network-attached sensor for the detection of radio frequencies (RF). It
supplements the DroneTracker System with another level of detection. The RF-100 detects
targeted radio signals of different drones and remote controllers and sends the data, along
with an alert, to the DroneTracker System.

The RF-100 is intended for civil commercial and private use in conjunction with a DroneTracker
System.

The RF-100 is suitable for indoor and outdoor use.

Use this product only in accordance with the information provided in the enclosed
