ANTENNA RECOGNITION
The FCC prohibits standard types of antenna connectors for systems such as
the MerLAN M10. Although the unit uses a standard SMA female connector
for the external antenna port, the FCC has allowed this standard connection
for the MerLAN M10 because of the special antenna recognition function
provided by the unit. This function is implemented in an electrical manner
instead of a mechanical manner. Accordingly, no antennas or antenna
systems except those that Clarion provides as genuine accessories for the
MerLAN M10 are available. If such antennas or antenna systems are
connected to the MerLAN M10, the unit will never transmit. The external
antenna port outputs a low DC voltage (up to +5 Volts) for this recognition.
The unit is unconditionally safe against any type of passive load connected to
the external antenna port.
WARNING: If any measuring equipment is connected to the external
antenna port, please check that the allowed DC voltage applied to the
input of the equipment can be accommodated without any damage to the
equipment.
NOTE: Transmit signals can not be observed by connecting the external
antenna port to any measuring equipment because of the antenna
recognition function described above. A measuring antenna together with
an approved Clarion antenna can be used for any such requirement.
