6. Cautions 6.1. Safety precautions This module should be used at authorized places or environments due to frequency jamming possibility while operating. If occur any issues when the module operates at not authorized places or environments, AM TELECOM does not have any responsibility. ① Do not use at life-saving places or areas such as hospitals or medical facilities.
⑪ Do not presses the shield CAN. It can cause electrical short or declining RF performance by the CAN damage. 7. Acronyms Word BW dB dBm Description Band Width A type of (relative) scale that represents the difference of some value as Log An abbreviation for the power ratio in dB of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt (mW).
