In order to determine the electromagnetic environment in relation to stationary transmitters, a study of the location should be considered. If the measured field strength at the location where the eConnect is used exceeds the upper compliance level, the eConnect should be kept under observation to ensure that it functions correctly. If it is observed to be performing unusually, additional action may be necessary, such as changing the orientation or location of the eConnect.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all cases. The distribution of electromagnetic variables is influenced by the absorption and reflection of buildings, objects and people. Frequency bands The mobile communication module of the eConnect uses the following frequency bands: Maximum transmission Band designation...
