Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and
its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful
communication.
This radio transmitter with certification number 1444A-VP4102 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna
type listed below and with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance indicated. Antenna types not included
in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Model: G-CXL 70-1LW/h (nedap art. 4602366)
Antenna gain: 2 dBi
Nominal impedance: 50 Ω
