<Only for model with external antenna>
External Antenna

This device has been designed to operate with an external WWAN antenna having a maximum gain
of 4 dBi for the cellular band, 3 dBi for the PCS band, 3 dBi for LTE Band 4, 9 dBi for LTE Band 17
and 10 dBi for LTE Band 13. WWAN Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per
regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen
that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful
communication.

<Uniquement pour les modèles avec l'antenne externe>
Antenne Externe

Cet appareil est conçu pour opérer avec une antenne WWAN (réseau étendu sans fil) dont le gain
maximum est fixé à 4 dBi pour la bande cellulaire, 3 dBi pour la bande de service de
communications personnelles (PCS), 3 dBi pour la bande LTE 4, 9 dBi pour la bande LTE 17 et 10
dBi pour la bande LTE 13. Les règlements d'Industrie Canada interdisent l'utilisation d'une antenne
WWAN dont le gain serait supérieur à cette limite. L'antenne doit avoir une impédance de 50 ohms.
Afin de réduire le risque d'interférence radioélectrique aux autres utilisateurs des bandes de
fréquences, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être tels que la puissance isotrope rayonnée
équivalente (PIRE) n'est pas plus élevée que le niveau requis pour assurer la communication.

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A 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 to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded interface cables when connecting to a computer or
peripheral. Also, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired

operation.

External Antenna
FCC RF Exposure Warning:

This equipment is provided with external antenna connector(s) for connection to optional Docking Station
or Port Replicator for mobile external mounted antenna(s). External antenna(s) must be professionally
installed and cannot exceed recommended maximum antenna gain as described in individual provided
supplement instructions for wireless transmitters.
The maximum allowable antenna gain for the external WWAN base whip antenna for the cellular band is 4
dBi, PCS band is 3 dBi, LTE Band 4 is 3 dBi, LTE Band 17 is 9 dBi and 10 dBi for LTE Band 13. Also, user
must maintain minimum 20 cm spacing between external antenna(s) and all person's body (excluding
extremities of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes of operation.

PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Conduct a “Bench Test”

Gamber-Johnson strongly advises a “bench test” be conducted to verify all electronic and software issues are
resolved prior to installation:

1. Make sure the computer is operational by itself.

2. Insert computer into the docking station and verify that the computer is operating in the dock.

3. Interconnect entire assembly and verify start-up of all components, including other equipment (printers,
modems, scanners, etc.)

Gamber-Johnson recommends positioning of all mounts and equipment in the vehicle prior to the actual install to
verify that mounting locations are safe and practical.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR INSTALLERS

Safety is dependent on the proper installation and servicing of this docking station. It is important to read and follow
all instructions before installing this product.

To properly install a Gamber-Johnson docking station you must have a good understanding of automotive electrical
procedures and systems, along with proficiency in the installation and service of aftermarket vehicle equipment.

There are no adjustments required at any time of the electrical components within the docking station.

Opening the

docking station will void the product warranty.

During Installation:

DO NOT

connect this docking station to the vehicle battery until:

1. All other electrical connections are made

2. Mounting of all components is complete

3. Verification that no shorts exist in the entire system

DO NOT

install equipment or route wiring or cords in the deployment path of any air bag.

When drilling into the vehicle, DO make sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that could be
damaged.

Caution:

If wiring is shorted to the frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical

fires or flying molten metal.

After installation:

Test the docking station to ensure that it is working properly.

File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when performing maintenance or reinstalling.

WARNING:

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury, or

death.
