iR1200 Modem  
determine how and where you intend to mount the modem, antenna and  
accessories. (See Required Installation Components listed on page 3).  
Planning Modem Location  
Factors to consider when planning for the location or placement of your iR1200  
modem:  
Easily Accessible – You should allow easy access to the modem (for  
troubleshooting purposes).  
Easily Visible – You should allow a clear view of the modem’s LED  
indicators.  
Proximity of the Cables – The distance between connections affects  
performance, especially the distance between the modem and antenna. The  
shorter the distance between these components, the better the signal.  
(Please refer to the antenna’s Safety Warranty for proper installation  
of modem and antenna.)  
Environment Considerations:  
-
Heat - Placing the modem, antenna or cables near  
a heat source can cause several problems,  
including radio interference. Select a location away  
from a source of heat and make sure the modem  
has at least a 1-inch clearance on all sides for cool  
air to circulate.  
!
-
-
Wetness – The modem should not be mounted in  
an area where it would be directly exposed to  
water.  
Direct Sunlight – The modem should not be  
mounted in direct sunlight.  
Modem Dimensions  
Consider the size of the modem. Will the modem fit in the area where you want  
to perform the installation?

Planning Antenna Location  
Factors to consider when planning for the location or placement of the antenna:  
Choose a location with easy access to cable routing to ease the process of  
connecting the antenna to the modem.  
In vehicle installation, mount the modem antenna on the center of the  
outside trunk for optimum signal reception.  
In a stationary (building or desk) environment, position the GPS antenna  
where it has a direct line-of-sight to the sky. In some cases, this can be  
accomplished by placing the antenna adjacent to a window. In most cases  
it will require mounting outside of the building.  
Planning Cable Layout  
Once you have chosen the location of the modem and antenna and before the  
installation, layout the cables to determine:  
If the cables can reach the modem and antenna.  
If the distance between components is adequate and allows you to make  
adjustments to receive a better signal. (Please refer to the manufacturer’s  
installation manual for safe installation of your antenna).

Installation Preparation  
If there are kinks or bends in the cable or obstructions in the vehicle that  
could affect routing.  
Serial Cable Routing  
Serial cable routing is the most important factor to ensure a trouble-free  
operation. The serial cable should be as stable as possible (e.g., it should  
experience little or no movement and have very few or no bends or kinks).  
NOTE: The majority of the problems occur because of serial cable failure.  
Installation Tools  
You will need these tools to install the iR1200 modem.  
Portable Drill

Mounting the Antenna(s)  
The location of the antenna should be chosen carefully.  
Important things to consider when installing the  
antenna equipment.  
!
Installation of recommended equipment must be  
installed in accordance with Nextel’s installation  
instructions.  
To assure compliance with United States FCC  
regulations on RF exposure, equipment must be  
installed in such a way as to maintain a separation  
of at least 8 inches (20 cms) between the antenna  
and the human body.  
Ensure that the antenna is properly installed  
external to the vehicle and in accordance with the  
requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.  
Use only an approved antenna. Unauthorized  
antennas, modifications or attachments could  
impair call quality, damage the modem, or result in  
the violation of FCC mandates.  
Approved Antennas  
The following table states the approved antennas that can be used with the  
iR1200 modem.

Mount the Antenna(s)  
The following table describes the steps for mounting an antenna.  
1
Use an antenna suitable for the cellular band of frequencies  
(806-870 MHz) with Mini UHF jack and matched for 50-  
ohm impedance.  
2
Mount the antenna according to the manufacturer’s  
specifications or instructions. (Use only an approved  
antenna – see list of Approved Antennas on page 31.)  
NOTE: Each antenna has specific installation instructions. Please refer  
to the antenna installation instructions for specific requirements  
and details.  
Mount GPS Antenna (optional)  
The iR1200 GPS-Enabled modem comes equipped with a connector for a GPS  
antenna. Nextel recommends using the GPS Magnetic Mount Antenna (part  
number 5030-C5-RFM) with the iR1200 Modem.  
The following table contains the steps for mounting a GPS antenna.

Position the antenna where it has a direct line-of-sight to the  
satellite.  
Mount the antenna according to the manufacturer’s  
specifications or instructions. (Use only an approved  
antenna – see list of Approved Antennas on page 31.)  
NOTE: Because of the operating frequencies involved with the GPS  
signal, splicing or using adapters to extend the length of the  
antenna coaxial cable is not recommended and will likely prevent  
the system from operating properly. We recommend that a single  
length of coax without splices or adapters be used.

Safety Notice  
Safety Notice  
The following is important information for safe and efficient  
operation of the iR1200 modem. We recommend that all users read  
this information before using the modem.  
Safe and Efficient Operation Guidelines  
Your modem contains a transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and  
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The modem operates in the frequency  
range of 806 MHz to 870 MHz and utilizes the digital modulation techniques.  
This product is authorized by FCC Rule Part 47CFR2.989 (b) which states that  
it should be used in such a way that it maintains a distance of at least 8 inches  
(20 cms) between the human body and the radio's antenna or modem. When  
you use your modem, the system handling your call controls the power level at  
which your modem transmits. The output power level typically may vary over a  
range from 600 mW to 2.5 watts.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy  
Your modem is designed to comply with the United States Federal  
Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; FCC part 90-sub
