AIRcable Host XR - Professional Antenna Installation Guide
Rev. B
August 2007
Summary
This manual covers the installation of optional directional 18dBi patch antennas and optional 9dBi
omni-directional rubber duck antennas for use with the AIRcable Host XR, wireless Bluetooth -
Computer interface, part number ACC1603.
The use of directional, higher gain antennas is classified by the FCC as a professional installation for a
fixed point-to-point application. The use of higher gain omni-directional antennas with more than 6dBi is
must also be professionally installed. To be in compliance with FCC requirements, the AIRcable Host XR
must be installed only with the approved type of directional patch antenna with a gain of less or equal of
18dBi or with the approved type of omni-directional antenna with a gain of less or equal of 9dBi.
FCC Information
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Regulations. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radiofrequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in any particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to correct the interference by one of more of the following measures:
Reorient the antenna;1. Increase the separation between the affected equipment and the unit;2. Connect the affected equipment to a power outlet on a different circuit from that which the
receiver is connected to;
3.
Consult the dealer and/or experienced radio/TV technician for help.4.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Intentional or unintentional changes or modifications must not be made unless
under the express consent of the party responsible for compliance. Any such modifications could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment and will void the manufacturer’s warranty. To comply with
FCC RF exposure requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating configurations
must be satisfied. The antenna for this unit must be fixed and mounted on outdoor permanent
structures with a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons. Furthermore, it must not be

WARNING
Connections
The AIRcable Host XR comes equipped with a professional reverse-polarity SMA (RP-SMA) connector for
attachment to an external antenna. To attach the directional patch antenna a pig-tail cable from N-Type
to RP-SMA must be used according to the specification. Length of the pig-tail must not be shorter than 3
feet with a loss of 0.5 dB. Installer must cover cable-connector with heat shrink tubing to provide
weatherproofing of the RF cable connectors.
The following pig-tail cable has been approved by the FCC:

Antenna Type
Due to FCC restrictions the professional installer must ensure that only directional patch type antennas
of gains with less or equal of 18dBi are used. For these antenna this device does not require manual
power limit settings since the maximum output power of the AIRcable Host XR is under 20dBm.
Application
The FCC restricts the use of directional antennas to fixed point-to-point operation. The antenna must be
installed on a pole using the supplied mounting hardware per drawing below.
The omni-directional antenna must be used directly connected to the AIRcable Host XR without a cable
pig-tail. Screw on the antenna to the antenna port of the device and align the antenna vertically.
Only antennas of that type with gain of less or equal 18dBi (directional) and less or equal 9dBi
(omni-directional) are certified by the FCC and allowed to use with the AIRcable Host XR.

Antenna Alignment
The directional antenna must be aligned for optimal performance. The antenna shall be aimed at the
peer and precisely aligned for a maximum signal strength. The AIRcable Host XR provides Relative
Signal Strength Indicator through the standard Bluetooth interface.
Please note that the Bluetooth radio adjusts the output power to the situation. A relative zero is a good
and solid connection.
The omni-directional rubber-duck antenna must be aligned vertically to give an optimum horizontal
radiation pattern.
