External Antenna Considerations
The GOS™ 10 hub contains an internal antenna, and it is
recommended to install the hub in a location that does not block this signal. If your
installation required you to select a location for the hub that interferes with the internal
antenna, such as a location surrounded by metal or similar materials, you can install the
included optional external antenna if needed.
When installing the external antenna, observe these considerations.
-
You should test the system using the internal antenna in the GOS 10 hub before connecting the external antenna. The external antenna is optional and is meant to be used only when the internal antenna is blocked or diminished due to the installation location.
-
You must install the external antenna in a location at least 20 cm (7.9 in.) away from personnel on the vessel due to FCC and ISED requirements.
