2. FCC Statements
FCC ID: 2ADS4HUB2
§ 15.19 (a)(3)
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
§ 15.21
Important! Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
§ 15.105 (b)
Notes: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 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 to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into 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.
§ 2.1091 (b)
For purposes of this section, a mobile device is defined as a transmitting device designed to be used in other than
fixed locations and to generally be used in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 centimeters is normally
maintained between the transmitter's radiating structure(s) and the body of the user or nearby persons. In this
context, the term “fixed location” means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be
easily moved to another location. Transmitting devices designed to be used by consumers or workers that can be
easily re-located, such as wireless devices associated with a personal computer, are considered to be mobile devices
if they meet the 20 centimeter separation requirement.
DO NOT operate the transmitter when someone is within 20 cm of the antenna.

6. Installation
6.1 Installation
The HUB2 might be install near a wall or an AC outlet for big event. The battery can run less than a day
without charging (depending on the usage of these). The HUB2 also need to be out of sight of people and
not in a restricted place to be sure that the data is correctly send to the server. The HUB2 can always be
plug.
6.2 Orientation
The HUB2 orientation depends on the Antennas orientation. The HUB2 can be placed on the floor, on the
wall or under object, but the Antenna must always be placed in vertical position for a maximum coverage.
To have a good coverage, the HUB2 must be place in the center of a pieces, unfortunately in realistic
event, it may not be possible due to the AC outlet and the need to be out of sight of people. So it is
recommended to place it in a hidden place near a wall. A place than will have the maximum coverage with
or without thick wall. See image below for an exemple.
6.3 Connections
The user only need to be sure the phone is correctly plug on the HUB2, the antenna is there and the
battery is charged.

7. HUB2 Button control and light
7.1 Home screen
When the HUB2 is open (switch in UP position), it will automatically open the phone and the Klik app. You
will need after to setup the WIFI configuration and some parameter to be sure that the HUB2 is connected
to the good server.

8. Troubleshooting
8.1 BLE-Devices
-RFPA test levels (part I) are within [1000, 1100] mV?
If antenna connector has bad soldering, add solder to the antenna connector Else replace C42 from 0.5
pF to 0.4 pF.
-RFPA test levels (part I) are below 1000 mV?
The shell cmd not sent at the end. Make sure you sent a shell cmd to the board: i2c-write 02 01 shell.
-Switch is put to on, RX-TX led is not blinking green?
The shell cmd not sent at the end. Make sure you sent a shell cmd to the board: i2c-write 02 01 shell.
8.2 PHONE (HUBDROID)
-Android bluedroid is displayed as HUBID in the app?
Uninstall - reinstall klik app.
-Hubdroid-xxxx has a typo / is misspelled?
Go to BT settings and change the bluetooth name of the device. Then uninstall and reinstall the app.
-Phone is "stuck" in kiosk mode?
Follow procedure in the link on the right
8.3 PHONE (HUBDROID) software update
-Some apps (chrome, hexnode, ...) keep auto updating, killing the focus of Klik app...?
No solution for the moment.
8.4 IP NETWORKING
-Hub2 gets disconnected from event, or jumps on/off?
Switch phone's data mode (LTE \ WiFi) or reboot phone, disconnect from hubamp, and reboot hubamp
too. Reconnect all.
-Hub2’s amp status disappears from CP or Tech APP
Check connection cable or swap the hubamp for a spare one
