USA specific information
The USA Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has asked manufacturers to
implement special features to prevent interference to weather radar systems that operate
in the band 5600 MHz to 5650 MHz
.
These features must be implemented in all products
able to operate outdoors in the band 5470 MHz to 5725 MHz.
Manufacturers must ensure that such radio products cannot be configured to operate
outside of FCC rules; specifically it must not be possible to disable or modify the radar
protection functions that have been demonstrated to the FCC.
In order to comply with these clear FCC requirements for all manufacturers, Motorola is
releasing variants of PTP 250 for USA or Canada operation. These new devices will only
be allowed to operate in accordance with FCC/IC rules. In particular, operation of radio
channels overlapping the band 5600-5650 MHz is not allowed and these are permanently
barred in the products offered for sale in the USA/Canada.
Other versions of the products will be available for use in the rest of the world, but these
versions will not be supplied to the USA except under strict controls, when they are
needed for export and deployment outside the USA.
To ensure compliance with FCC rules ( KDB 443999: Interim Plans to Approve UNII
Devices Operating in the 5470 - 5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS
Capabilities ), follow the instructions in Avoidance of weather radars (USA only) on page 2-
