Other Important Statements and Warnings
FCC Statement (For USA Only)
Federal Communications Commission
Radio Frequency Interference Statement for Spread Spectrum Devices
Warning:
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If it is not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, it may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a resi-
dential area will probably cause interference, in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference.
WARNING!
This is a 5.7 GHz point-to-point system. The conducted output is 0.151 Watts with Gant = 24 dBi. This system is used
exclusively for fixed point-to-point operations. It is prohibited to transmit the same information from multiple co-
located antennas.
• This equipment must be professionally installed
• In order to comply with FCC RF Exposure requirements, this device must be installed in such
that a minimum separation distance of 2 meters (6 feet) is always maintained between the
antenna and all persons.
• The operator and professional installer are responsible for ensuring that the system is used
exclusively for fixed point-to-point operations.
• The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unautho-
rized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
Electronic Emission Notices
All the spread spectrum devices sold in this catalog comply with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
If this equipment causes interference to radio reception (which can be determined by unplugging the power cord from the
equipment) try these measures: (1) Re-orient the receiving antenna, (2) Relocate the equipment with respect to the
receiver, (3) Plug the equipment and receiver into different branch circuits, or (4) Consult your dealer or an experienced
technician for additional suggestions.
DANGER!!! Rooftop or tower antenna installations are extremely dangerous and incorrect installation may
result in injury, damage, or death. Rooftop and tower installations must be performed by professional antenna
installers only.
