FCC Compliance
FCC Statement and Declaration: Ivation declares that this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation of this device is subject
to the following two (2) conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Notice: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Par t 15 of the FCC Rules. These limit s
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 and correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the distance between the equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to 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.
FCC Caution and Safety Notices: Any changes or modifications (including the antennas) made to this device that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with
any other antenna or transmitter. Avoid use of this product near water or during an electrical storm as there may be a remote risk of electrical shock from
lighting. This product may contain lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling. This device must always be used with a Listed Computer or device.
FCC Notice for Signal Amplifiers/Boosters: Signal Amplifiers and Boosters (such as this product) may only be used in a system in which it has obtained
authorization from the FCC. Signal Boosters (such as this product) may not be used with any device which has not obtained proper FCC authorization or has not
been cer tified for use as a system with the Signal Booster (such as this product.)
System Requirements:
• 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n certified wireless network/ wireless AP / router / PCI network adapter with a removable antenna
• Wireless device to connect to this unit
About Wireless Devices:
Any Wi-Fi device(802.11b/g) that use the IEEE802.11 wireless standard. These devices can range from wireless access points to wireless routers to
wireless PCI client cards.
About IEEE 802.11 Wireless Network Specifications:
802.11 applies to wireless LANs (Networks) and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency-hopping spread
spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
802.11b (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi) is an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides 11 Mbps transmission
(with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. The 802.11b spec was the 1999 ratification to the original 802.11
standard, allowing wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.
802.11g applies to wireless LANs and provides 54 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz band. Backward compatible with IEEE 802.11b products.
Attach the antenna to the base and locate it so you can get a better or higher position to receive or transmit signals when the antenna is connected
to an AP/AP router. Tilt or rotate the antenna for best results. The antenna can also be used with a PCI or USB adaptor equipped with an
SMA connector.

Operating Tips
Specifications:
The base unit can be affixed to a wall with screws. The direction of the cable can be upward or downward based on the location(s) of your
wireless devices.
1. Cut out the illustration of the base unit in the back of this guide (you may have to make a copy and resize the illustration first to fit the actual size
of the unit) and place it where you want to mount the antenna base on the wall.
2. Mark the spots for Figure A and Figure B on the wall with a pencil.
3. Install your screws where marked.
4. Make sure screws are tight but let screw heads protrude about 3 to 5mm from wall surface as shown.
5. Attach base unit onto the 2 screws.
NOTE: DO NOT position the antenna horizontally. The antenna can work only when it is vertical to the ground.
• For optimal range, place the signal booster in a central area of your home and in an elevated location.
• To achieve more range in different directions, adjust the antenna placement, angle and direction until your wireless coverage is optimal for your
specific installation.
• It is also important to note that wireless signals reflect off surfaces such as walls so that other areas may also be covered.
• Wireless performance may vary depending on many factors, including environmental conditions and installation scenarios.
• Avoid placing the signal booster near devices that may create interference. Household items that may inhibit wireless performance include
microwave ovens, refrigerators, washers and dryers, metal cabinets or metallic-tinted windows.
• Keep the unit away from water and other liquids. Do not use near aquariums.
• Avoid use of this product during an electrical storm as there may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
• You can add other high power Wi-Fi devices and adapters to increase the overall range of your wireless network. To achieve maximum range from
a wireless connection between an access point and a wireless computer or device, both the access point and wireless device must have high power
capabilities. Increasing the power for one side only provides 50% of the overall range benefits. To maximize your wireless range, upgrade the power
for both sides of the connection with high power wireless adapters or Wi-Fi antennas.
