FreeWave Technologies 2.4GHz Spread Spectrum Installation Guide August 13, 2004 V3.7 WARNING: In Transceivers with firmware version 3.36 and above, Government Rules must be set to 0 to comply with FCC regulations. Note: All Frequency Zone settings must be set to “1”.
Placement of the FreeWave transceiver is likely to have a significant impact on its performance. In general the rule with FreeWave is that the higher the placement of the antenna the better the communication link - height is everything.
