Raven-E iDEN for TELUS - Quick Start, version 2.40
tional verification. You should ensure that there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is
kept free from direct exposure to the elements (sun, rain, etc.)
Your Raven-E can be used with either DC (available in most automobiles) or 110 AC (standard US
wall power) with the appropriate power adapter (available from AirLink).
The power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power source positive termi-
nal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to the battery or power source negative ter-
minal. The Raven-E has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0 amps of
current.
An optional accessory for your modem is a mounting kit. The bracket is designed to snugly cra-
dle the modem and hold it in place where you need it.
Connecting the Antenna
Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard installation config-
uration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/or multi-
ple connections), it’s imperative that the installer follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in
accordance with Industry Canada’s regulations.
Please refer to the following guidelines:
• RSS-102 (...Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 for Exposure of Humans to RF Fields)
• RSS-129 (800 MHz Dual-Mode CDMA Cellular Telephones) (Analogue & CDMA)
• RSS-133 r1 (2 GHz Personal Communications)

Your AirLink Raven-E will work with most Dual-Band PCS cellular antennas with a TNC con-
nector that works in the high and low frequencies of iDEN . Connect the antenna or RF cable
directly to the connector on the back of the Raven-E.
Connecting power
Note: When using a DC power source (such as a car battery or solar cell), AirLink
recommends placing a fuse on the line close to the power source to protect your
power source from possible surges due to shorts or other line issues.
