Powerwave Technologies Inc. reserves the right to make changes to the documentation and equipment, includ-
ing but not limited to component substitution and circuitry changes. Changes that impact this document may
subsequently be incorporated in a later revision of this document.
This Powerwave product is designed to operate within the Normal Operating (typical operating) ranges or con-
ditions specified in this document. Operation of this equipment beyond the specified ranges in this document
may cause (1) spurious emissions that violate regulatory requirements; (2) the equipment to be automatically
removed from service when maximum thresholds are exceeded; or (3) the equipment to not perform in accor-
dance with its specifications. It is the Operator's responsibility to ensure this equipment is properly installed and
operated within Powerwave operating specifications to obtain proper performance from the equipment and to
comply with regulatory requirements.
The rated output power of a standard WRH is for single carrier operation; for a WRH-V it is for multiple carriers.
As long as the composite power does not exceed the rated power (20W for North America), derating is not
required for mutiple carriers. For situations above that, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, espe-
cially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power
reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the
device. Input power is rated at 115/230VAC, 50/60Hz, and should be protected with a 20 A breaker. Power
strips should, at a minimum, conform to this requirement to prevent equipment damage and possible overload.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
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. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Powerwave Technologies, Inc.
for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environ-
ment. 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 his own expense.
Industry Canadian Requirement
All Powerwave apparatus introduced on the Canadian market meet all requirements of the Canadian Interfer-
ence-Causing Equipment Regulations. The -20dB bandwidth at 1900 MHz band is 80 MHz. The -20dB band-
width at the 850 MHz is 34 MHz.
