Compliance with FCC
FCC Part 90
Part 90 Signal boosters THIS IS A 90.219 CLASS A DEVICE
WARNING!!! This is NOT a CONSUMER device. This device is designed for installation by FCC
LICENCEES and QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You must have an FCC LICENCE or express consent of an
FCC Licensee to operate this device. (You MUST register Class B signal boosters (as defined in 47 CFR
90.219) online at www.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/registration.)
Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture penalties, including penalties in excess of
$100,000 for each continuing violation.
This repeater must be operated as a Part 90 Class A repeater. The installation procedure must result in
the signal booster complying with FCC requirements 90.219(d). In order to meet FCC requirements
90.219(d), it may be necessary for the installer to reduce the UL and/or DL output power for certain
installations.
FCC Part 90 for 700/800MHz
FCC Part 90 is valid ONLY for SMR 700/800 high power Class A booster models supporting up to 10MHz bandwidth as
follows:
• FCC Part 90 is valid ONLY for SMR 700 high power Class A booster models supporting the following (maximum)
bandwidths: 758 - 775MHz, 788 – 805MHz
• FCC Part 90 is valid ONLY to SMR 800 high power Class A repeater models supporting the following (maximum)
bandwidths: 806 - 817MHz, 851 – 862MHz
FCC Part 15
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
FCC Part 20 for CMRS applications
FCC Part 20 is applied for 800MHz high power Class A Booster models running CMRS services under the following bands:
817 – 824MHz, 862 – 869MHz.
FCC RF Exposure Limits
This unit complies with FCC RF exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment must be installed and
operated with a minimum distance of 28cm between the radiator and any person’s body.
Antenna Installation
Installation of an antenna must comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. The antenna used for this transmitter
must be mounted on outdoor or indoor permanent structures. The maximum antenna gain for indoor operation is 2.2 dBi
and for the external antenna is 7dBi. Cable loss of at least 2dB is taken into account for all cases.
Antennas having a gain greater than these are strictly prohibited for use with this device. In indoor applications the
antenna must be installed at a minimum separation distance of 28cm from all nearby persons.
Note the following:
In a DAS system, the loss due to cable insertion, splitter, etc., is assumed to be approximately 9 dB.
Gmax antenna gain (dBi) = EIRP – Pout + Insertion Loss = 38 – 40 + 9 = 7 dBi
EIRP = Pout – insertion Loss + Gmax antenna gain (dBi) = 40 – 9 +7 = 38 dBm
ERP = 38 -2.15 = 35.85 dBm = 3.85 W < 5 W ERP
