Wincomm WAF2400-1000L Installation And Operation Manual

Product code WAF2400-1000L
Antenna Amplifier, 2.4-2.4835 GHz, 0.250 W Output

Caution: For use only with the provided Lucent Technologies ORiNOCO Model: PC24E-00-FC WaveLAN 2.4 GHz

wireless card with FCC ID: IMRWLPC24. Use of other radio transmitters with this amplifier may cause interference, and
is a violation of FCC Rules.

The bi-directional RF amplifier greatly increases usable signal transmission range by increasing receiver sensitivity and
compensating for various line losses (in the feeder, connectors and cable) and signal losses due to electromagnetic

radiation.
