WARNING – FCC RF Exposure Guidelines 
While this device is in operation, a separation distance of at least 20cm must be 
maintained between the radiating antenna and the body of all persons exposed by the 
transmitter to meet FCC exposure guidelines. 
This transmitter is only approved to operate with an antenna not exceeding 1.5 watts 
total system ERP (effective radiated power) for operations with the antenna located at 
more than 20 cm from all persons.  The warning label must be displayed at the base of 
the antenna, clearly visible to all persons exposed to the transmitter. 
The DART 300 is fitted with a threaded female TNC connector.  Any standard 800 MHz cellular 
antenna of good quality should operate properly.

CAUTION 
The combination of cable loss and antenna gain must yield an overall system gain not 
exceeding 0 dB.  The transmitter output of 0.6 Watt is delivered at the connector.  This 
is the FCC regulated limit of a Class III device. 
 
 
CAUTION 
In cases where the antenna output is to be connected to test equipment, DC blocks must 
be used on the antenna output to protect the test equipment and avoid false booster 
detection.
