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 FT Strand mount 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 multiple carriers. For situations
where regulatory requirements require reduced interference to adjacent band users, the rating would have to
be reduced by 3 dB. 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
based on the power and fuse specifications in Chapter 5 of this manual. 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
CRF47 part 15 of the FCC rules. This equipment is also certified to CRF47 part 24 (PCS) of the FCC Rules
depending on the band of operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Powerwave Tech-
nologies, 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 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 commu-
nications. 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.
This device complies with the technical standards governing mobile radio devices in accordance with FCC
Rules. This device is intended to facilitate the reception and transmission of mobile radio devices in the cellu-
lar, PCS or other mobile services, and its operation by end users or others requires carrier consent under FCC
rules.
Industry Canadian Requirements
All Powerwave apparatus introduced in 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 output imped-
ance of the unit referenced in this document is 50 Ohms. The input signal is optical so input impedance
requirements are not applicable.
