Cellular Antenna Installation

The ProPak6 has a cellular antenna port to facilitate the connection of an external cellular antenna. An
external antenna must be connected to this port in order to use the integrated cellular radio.

To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human
exposure to RF radiation, the maximum system gain (antenna gain minus system loss)
must not exceed 1.4 dBi in the U.S. Cellular band and 3.0 dBi in the PCS band for the
GSM/GPRS/HSDPA variant. System loss is the total of external cable and connector
losses and ProPak6 internal losses. For reference and system gain calculation
purposes, the ProPak6 has internal losses of 0.6 dB for the 800 MHz Cellular band and
1.8 dB for the 1900 MHz PCS band.
1. Remove the SIM card holder cover.
