Per FCC regulations maximum permissible EIRP of the communication devices in the 2.4
GHz frequency band is limited differently depending on the communication system
configuration (Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint). Therefore, please be advised that it is
installer responsibility to ensure that the I-Series transceivers installed according to
the guidelines listed below depending on the system configuration. It is also installer’s
responsibility to assure that the emission limits are not exceeded.
WARNING: Any antennas placed outdoors must be properly grounded. Use extreme
caution when installing antennas and follow all instructions included with the
antennas.
The output power of the I-Series radio transceivers can be adjusted by changing “RFXmit
Power” settings on the radio. Table below shows correlation between the “RFXmit Power”
settings and output power of the transceiver.

Required “RFXmit Power” settings for each of the antennas provided by FreeWave are given
in the next section of this document. To configure the Power Output Level from the
transceiver follow the steps below:
ü Start “Hyper Terminal” program on the computer connected to the transceiver’s RS232
port (refer to the User Manual for the “Hyper Terminal” setup instructions).
ü Press setup switch on the I-Series transceiver.
ü Choose option number “3” from the Main Menu which appeared on the “Hyper Terminal”
