This device meets the official requirements for exposure to radio waves. This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by authorized agencies. The device must be used with a minimum separation of 20 cm from a person’s body to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines. Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the applicable limits.

External antennas used with RUTX12 must be installed to provide a distance of at least 20 cm from any people and must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Any external antenna gain must meet RF exposure and maximum radiated output power limits of the applicable rule section.

Maximum transmission power
GSM	33 dBm
WCDMA	24 dBm
LTE	23 dBm
WiFi 2.4G	20 dBm
WiFi 5G	23 dBm

In all EU member states, operation of 5150-5350 MHz is restricted to indoor use only.

To achieve the best signal conditions and maximize cellular performance, try adjusting the antennas or changing the location of your device. You can find information on signal strength recommendations here.

SIM card recommendations

• Before installing the SIM cards, please apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM card contacts for devices used in environments with high-vibration levels. This will help avoid SIM cards losing touch with the SIM slot and prevent unexpected failures.
• Industrial Grade SIM cards are recommended for devices requiring a long lifespan used in environments with extreme temperatures, corrosive or extra humid climates, or hard-to-reach locations.
