2.0 Installation 

When integrating this module into a host, the user must provide all text in the “FCC Statements” 
and “Industry Canada Statements” into the host device’s user manual (see Forward Material).  
The text must not be modified in any way and presented in a conspicuous manner that the end 
user can be reasonably expected to access. 

The module is provided with an RF adapter cable and antenna.  The RF adapter cable converts 
MCX to RP-TNC plug.  The connector on the antenna is an RP-TNC jack.  Please see section 
entitled “FCC Statements” for notice concerning these special accessories. 

Install the RF adapter cable by plugging the MCX plug into the MCX jack on the module (RFE2).  
Affix the RP-TNC end of the adapter cable to the housing of the host device utilizing the keyed 
housing and locking nut.  Finally, install the antenna onto the RP-TNC end of the adapter. 

3.0 Tune-up 

Procedure 

This module does not require any special tune-up procedure by the user.  This module utilizes 
advanced system-on-chip (SOC) technology.  The SOC is tuned by the foundry at time of 
manufacture and is not subject to change or adjustment.  The module contains no adjustable 
components. 

Proper RF operation of the module is verified during the manufacturing process using suitable 
equipment and methods.  The manufacturer has performed a tuning process according to the 
SOC design guidelines.
