Preface
Cautions & Safety Regulations
All RF power transistor and RF termination resistors in this power amplifier
contain the toxic substance beryllium oxide. These assemblies are located on
the combiner, splitter and power amplifier boards. The fumes and dust of
beryllium oxide is also toxic and should only be treated by trained personnel
using proper precautions. Federal law and most state laws strictly prohibit
disposal of beryllium oxide as a public waste.
FCC Requirements
FCC regulations state that:
1. Radio transmitters may be tuned or adjusted only by persons holding a
general class commercial radiotelephone operator’s license, a registered
engineer or by personnel working under their immediate supervision.
2. The RF power output of a radio transmitter shall be no more than that
required for satisfactory technical operation considering the area to be
covered and local conditions.
3. The frequency, deviation, and power of a base station transmitter must be
maintained within specified limits. It is recommended, therefor, that these
three parameters be checked before the station is placed in service.
4. The power input to the final radio frequency stage shall not exceed the
maximum figure specified on the current station authorization. This power
input shall be measured and the results recorded:
a. When the transmitter is initially installed.
b. When any change is made in the transmitter, which may
increase the power input.
c. At intervals not to exceed on year.
FCC Interference Warning
FCC regulations state that:
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. As temporarily permitted by regulation it
has not been tested for compliance with the limits for Class A computing devices
pursuant to Sub-part J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area is likely to cause interference in which case the user at his own
