Approved Antenna Types
Any antenna certified to TSO-C66, TSO-C74, TSO-C112 with a peak gain of 4 dBi or less, a omni-directional radiation
pattern, and a VSWR of 1.8 or less at 978MHz is approved for use with this device and will ensure conformance to
all applicable standards for RF emissions.
Modifications and use outside of intended scope
This device has been design and tested to conform to all applicable standards in the original form and when
configured with the components shipped with the device. It’s not permissible to modify the device, use the device
for any use outside of the intended scope, or use the device with any antenna other than the one shipped with the
device.
Important Pilot Advisory Note Regarding Safety of Radio Frequency Energy
Safe use of this device requires care as to the placement of the antenna. Place the antenna at least 4cm away from
any part of your body or that of other cabin occupants. To stop all RF emissions, remove power from the
equipment. Only handle the antenna when power is disconnected. Advise your passenger(s) to avoid contact with
the antenna while power is applied to the equipment. Retain these instructions with your maintenance logs/files
and for future reference.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits (Table 1 of 47Pt1 (i) 1.1310) set forth for a
Public/Uncontrolled environment.
