Descriptions of LEDs

The top panel contains the following LEDs:

■ Power and Status LEDs—The Power LED indicates that DC power is present and the Status LED blinks when

the unit is functioning normally.

■ Wi-Fi—Indicates if the device is serving as a Wi-Fi access point or acting as a Wi-Fi client. Not all models

support Wi-Fi.

■ Modem LEDs—Two modem LEDs indicate carrier detection and link status.

■ Signal LEDs—Three signal LEDs display the signal strength level of the wireless connection.

■ Ethernet LEDs—These LEDs are not on the top panel. See the section Ethernet LED Descriptions for

descriptions of these LEDs.

LED Indicators

POWER Indicates presence of DC power when lit.

STATUS The LED is a solid light when the device is booting up, saving the configuration, restarting,

or updating the firmware. When the Status LED begins to blink, the router is ready for use.

WiFi

CD Carrier Detect. When lit, indicates data connection has been established.

LS Link Status

SIGNAL Signal strength for cellular.

Infrastructure mode

■ The WiFi LED is lit when WiFi AP mode is enabled, unlit when disabled.

■ The LED flashes rapidly to indicate traffic.

Client mode:

■ The WiFi LED is lit when WiFi client mode is enabled.

■ The WiFi LED blinks slowly when associated with an Access Point.

■ The WiFi LED flashes rapidly to indicate traffic.

OFF — No power to the cellular radio

Continuously Lit — Not registered

Slow Blink (-0.2Hz) — Registered or connected

ALL OFF—Unit is off, not registered on network, or extremely weak signal (0 < = RSSI <

6).

1 Bar “ON” —Very weak signal (7 < = RSSI <14).

1 Bar and 2 Bar “ON” —Weak signal (15 < = RSSI <23).

1 Bar, 2 Bar, and 3 Bar “ON” — Good signal (24 <= RSSI > = 31).

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 17

CHAPTER 2 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.

CHAPTER 2 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.

Chapter 3 Cellular Information

Antenna System Cellular Devices

The cellular/wireless performance depends on the implementation and antenna design. The integration of the
antenna system into the product is a critical part of the design process; therefore, it is essential to consider it early
so the performance is not compromised. If changes are made to the device's certified antenna system, then
recertification will be required by specific network carriers.
