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.
12 MultiConnect®rCell 100 Series Router User Guide

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).
Antenna
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 and 1.1307 of the FCC rules for satisfying RF exposure compliance.
If an alternate antenna is used, consult user documentation for required antenna specifications.

CELLULAR INFORMATION
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.
Requirements for Cellular Antennas with regard to FCC/IC Compliance
There cannot be any alteration to the authorized antenna system. The antenna system must maintain the same
specifications. The antenna must be the same type, with similar in-band and out-of-band radiation patterns.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed below and having a maximum gain for 850 MHz
of <= 6.4 dBi , for 1700 MHz of <= 6.5 dBi, and for 1900 MHz of <= 3 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or that
have a gain greater than specified are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance
is 50 ohms.

REGULATORY INFORMATION
Regulatory Information
Notice for Devices that Use Aeris Radios
One component of your device is a radio. A radio algorithm prevents your device from repeatedly attempting to
connect to the network when the radio:
■Cannot establish a packet data connection or
■Fails to access the application server.
When writing applications for your devices, ensure that your applications do not interfere with the radio's
connection retry algorithm. If you fail to do so, Aeris might block network access for your devices.
After your devices reach the end of their commercial lifespan, you must remove them from the Aeris network. To
do so, remove power from the devices and remove their antennas. If your devices continue to attempt to register
with the network after you cancel device subscriptions, Aeris can bill you for any traffic generated by those
devices.
47 CFR Part 15 Regulation Class B Devices
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.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
