§ 15.105 Information to the user.
Note: 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 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 the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

1 Overview
The SMART antenna rover is a high-performance GNSS receiver. With a
built-in all-band antenna and a high-accuracy GNSS board, the SMART
antenna rover can simultaneously track GPS, BDS, and GLONASS signals
and supports up to 192 channels. In addition, it provides various
functions such as the 3G/4G module (optional), radio module (built-in or
external), CAN module (optional), and Bluetooth module (optional). The
SMART antenna rover has three LEDs to indicate its own working status.
It supports multiple protocols such as RTCM and CMR for differential
data reception. The radio module is compatible with mainstream
vendors' transmission protocols.
