02030311-07 Airspan Networks Inc. 12-1 Installing the IDR This chapter describes the installation of the WipLL Indoor Data Radio (IDR), which is installed at the subscriber site. Warning: When operating in the 900 MHz band, the IDR model with anexternal antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction, with any other antenna or transmitter. Warning: To avoid electrical or fire hazard, ensure that all cable connectionsto the IDR are performed prior to connecting the power supply. Note: The digital portion of the transceiver has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user is encouraged to try correct the interference by performing one or more of the following measures: - Reorientate or relocate the receiving antenna - Increase separation between the equipment and receiver - Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help 12
