    The GPS receiver can be damaged if exposed to an RF level that exceeds its maximum input rating. Such exposure can happen if a nearby source transmits an RF signal at sufficiently high level to cause damage. Storage and Shipping One potential source of EOS is proximity of one LMU-3xx™ GPS Antenna to another LMU-3xx™ GSM https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/LMU-3xx_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 7/37...

    ESN. Obviously the first two items are answered by “CalAmp LMU”. The last one is a little misleading. The ESN on the LMU is the CalAmp serial number. The one the operator is interested in is the MSN-D (which they call the decimal ESN). DO NOT give them the CalAmp ESN (i.e. the top one on the label).

    If possible, it should be located at least 3 feet from the GPS antenna. Ensure that the cable does not get crushed during installation. Please note that the antennas provided by CalAmp combine both the GPS and Comm portions. GPS Antenna Placement Guidelines In order to maximize the performance of the LMU the GPS antenna should have a clear view of the sky.

    If at any time you should encounter a problem with the LMU, you may need to read the LEDs in order to troubleshoot the problem. If you cannot fix the LMU yourself, you will need to provide the LED information to CalAmp customer support. For information about how to interpret the LEDs, see the Status LED Behavior section.
