Warnings and Cautions
Human Exposure to Radio Frequencies
The WiMAX SSRM Antennas should be installed a minimum distance of 40 Cm (15.75 in) from
your body.
Radio Interference
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 internal vehicle radio
communications.
Please ensure a maximum separation between the SSRM’s antenna and other antennas.
Modifications
Any changes and modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by Airspan
Networks are not permitted and if done will result in voidance of warranty.
General
Installation, replacement and service should be performed by qualified personnel who are
familiar with local safety codes.
Do not mount external antennas in inclement weather (such as rain or lightning) that may
increase risk of electrocution.
SSRM does not provide protection from hazard energy in case of single fault condition.
Power supply shall be limited up to 3A in normal and single fault condition.

The United States Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department of
Communications have established certain rules governing the use of electronic equipment.
Part15, Class B.
This device complies with Part 15 of 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. This equipment 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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into 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.
Caution: The SSRM PCIe module is intended for use only in the Cisco Field
Area Router – Cisco 1000 Series.
Note: Cisco 1000 series router exterior label shall include wording similar to
the following: “Contains FCC ID: PIDASMAX2350”.
