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 FT 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 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 reception and transmission of mobile radio devices in the cellular, PCS or other
mobile services, and its operation 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), part 24 (PCS), part 27, and part 90 (iDEN800 and
iDEN900) of the FCC Rules depending on the band of operation. 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 com-
mercial 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 communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to cor-
rect 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 1900 MHz band is 80 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at 1900+G MHz
band is 77.4 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at the 700 MHz is 23.5 MHz. The -20dB bandwidth at the 700 MHz is 23.5
MHz. The output impedance of the unit referenced in this document is 50 Ohms. The -20dB bandwidth at IDEN
800MHz band is 26 MHz. The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For
situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced. For example, at IDEN
800MHz band, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially 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. The input signal is optical so input impedance requirements are not
applicable.
European Requirements
The Powerwave Nexus FT apparatus introduced in EU markets are certified to ESTI EN 300 609-4 (GSM900 and
DCS1800) and ESTI EN 301 908-11 (WCDMA).
