Radio Frequency (RF) Safety
Due to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference, it is important that you follow any special regulations
regarding the use of radio equipment. Follow the safety advice given below.
MultiConnect®rCell 100 MTR-H5 User Guide 15
Page 16
SAFETY WARNINGS
■ Operating your device close to other electronic equipment may cause interference if the equipment is
inadequately protected. Observe any warning signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.
■ Different industries and businesses restrict the use of cellular devices. Respect restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in process. Follow
restrictions for any environment where you operate the device.
■ Do not place the antenna outdoors.
■ Switch OFF your wireless device when in an aircraft. Using portable electronic devices in an aircraft may
endanger aircraft operation, disrupt the cellular network, and is illegal. Failing to observe this restriction
may lead to suspension or denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
■ Switch OFF your wireless device when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and before filling your vehicle
with fuel.
■ Switch OFF your wireless device in hospitals and any other place where medical equipment may be in use.
Interference with Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices
Potential interference
Radiofrequency energy (RF) from cellular devices can interact with some electronic devices. This is electromagnetic
interference (EMI). The FDA helped develop a detailed test method to measure EMI of implanted cardiac
pacemakers and defibrillators from cellular devices. This test method is part of the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard. This standard allows manufacturers to ensure that
cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from cellular device EMI.
The FDA continues to monitor cellular devices for interactions with other medical devices. If harmful interference
occurs, the FDA will assess the interference and work to resolve the problem.
Precautions for pacemaker wearers
If EMI occurs, it could affect a pacemaker in one of three ways:
■ Stop the pacemaker from delivering the stimulating pulses that regulate the heart's rhythm.
■ Cause the pacemaker to deliver the pulses irregularly.
■ Cause the pacemaker to ignore the heart's own rhythm and deliver pulses at a fixed rate.
Based on current research, cellular devices do not pose a significant health problem for most pacemaker wearers.
However, people with pacemakers may want to take simple precautions to be sure that their device doesn't cause
a problem.
■ Keep the device on the opposite the side of the body from the pacemaker to add extra distance
between the pacemaker and the device.
■ Avoid placing a turned-on device next to the pacemaker (for example, don’t carry the device in a shirt
or jacket pocket directly over the pacemaker).
Notice regarding Compliance with FCC and Industry Canada
Requirements for RF Exposure
The antenna intended for use with this unit meets the requirements for mobile operating configurations and for
fixed mounted operations, as defined in 2.1091 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance. If an
alternate antenna is used, consult user documentation for required antenna specifications.
16 MultiConnect®rCell 100 MTR-H5 User Guide
Page 17
SAFETY WARNINGS
Compliance of the device with the FCC and IC rules regarding RF Exposure was established and is given with the
maximum antenna gain as specified above for a minimum distance of 20 cm between the devices radiating
structures (the antenna) and the body of users. Qualification for distances closer than 20 cm (portable operation)
would require re-certification.

Using Diversity
Some devices support antenna diversity. Antenna diversity uses two receive antennas to improve the downlink
connection (cell tower to mobile). It has no effect on the uplink (mobile to cell tower). Antenna diversity is useful
in environments where the signal arrives at the device after bouncing off or around buildings or other objects.
When antenna diversity is on and a like or similar antenna is installed on both radio connectors, the radio
automatically chooses the antenna with the best reception. To use this feature:
.
1. Connect both antennas to your device, using both antenna connectors.
2. Use the device's web interface to enable the diversity feature. See the help file for details.

Notice for Devices that Use Aeris Radios
One component of your device is a radio. A radio algorithm prevents your device from repeatedly attempting to
connect to the network when the radio:
■ Cannot establish a packet data connection or
■ Fails to access the application server.
When writing applications for your devices, ensure that your applications do not interfere with the radio's
connection retry algorithm. If you fail to do so, Aeris might block network access for your devices.
After your devices reach the end of their commercial lifespan, you must remove them from the Aeris network. To
do so, remove power from the devices and remove their antennas. If your devices continue to attempt to register
with the network after you cancel device subscriptions, Aeris can bill you for any traffic generated by those
devices.
