Planning Coverage
The FWC2050 can analyze coverage of your access points. Select a group of access points and use the sliders to specify the minimum
acceptable coverage quality
The analysis will tell you how many additional access points you need to provide hte specied coverage. It will also show you a map
of suggested locations. In some cases, coverage gaps can be xed by moving access points.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure
To ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure limits, the antenna used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation
distance of at least 20 cm for models 4100 and 5100, 40 cm for model 5200, and 120 cm for model 4200, from all persons and must
not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Installers and users must follow these installation
instructions.
