This Powerwave product is designed to operate within the Normal Operating (typical operating) ranges or conditions
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 accordance 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 Nexus RT is for multiple carriers. As long as the composite power does not exceed the
rated power (28 dBm 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 dam-
age and possible overload.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
This device complies with the technical standards governing mobile radio devices in accordance with FCC Rules. This
device is intended to facilitate the transmission of mobile radio devices in the cellular and PCS services, and its opera-
tion by end users or others requires carrier consent under FCC rules. 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 22 (cellular) and part 24 (PCS) of the FCC Rules depending on the band of operation. Changes
or modifications not expressly approved by PowerwaveTechnologies, Inc. for compliance could void the user’s author-
ity 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 interfer-
ence 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 Requirements
All Powerwave apparatus introduced in the Canadian market meet all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Caus-
ing Equipment Regulations. The -20dB bandwidth at Downlink at 1900 MHz band is 61 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at
Uplink at 1900 MHz band is 61.2 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at Downlink at 850 MHz is 27 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth
at uplink at 850 MHz is 27 MHz. The output impedance of the unit referenced in this document is 50 Ohms. The Manu-
facturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier sig-
nals are present, the rating would have to be reduced. 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. The input signal is optical so input impedance require-
ments are not applicable.
