On-line commissioning tests the air interface to the picoBTS and takes place on-site after
installation and commissioning. Its purpose is to verify that the equipment is operational and
can be integrated into the telecommunications network.
On-line commissioning requires the participation of one or two people; a field technician who
operates and tests the picoBTS on-site and an OMC-R operator who has commissioned the
picoBTS on the BSC. These two must work together to get the RF interface up and the system
ready to make calls.

Radio Frequency Radiation Warning
Under normal operating conditions, ADC radio equipment complies with the limits for human exposure
to radio frequency (RF) fields adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). All ADC
Telecommunications, Inc. radio equipment is designed so that under normal working conditions RF
radiation directly from the radio is negligible when compared with the permissible limit of continuous
daily exposure recommended in the United States of America by ANSI/IEEE C95.1-19991 (R1997),
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to
300 GHz.
RF signal levels that give rise to hazardous radiation levels can exist within the transmitter, power
amplifiers, associated RF multiplexers and antenna systems.
Do not disconnect RF coaxial connectors on the ADC equipment or antenna systems while the radio
equipment is operating.
Never place any body part over, or look into any RF connector while the radio
equipment is transmitting.
