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 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.
La puissance de sortie nominale indiquée par le fabricant pour cet appareil concerne son fonctionnement avec porteuse unique. Pour des appareils
avec porteuses multiples, on doit réduire la valeur nominale de 3,5 dB, surtout si le signal de sortie est retransmis et qu'il peut causer du brouillage
aux utilisateurs de bandes adjacentes. Une telle réduction doit porter sur la puissance d'entrée ou sur le gain, et ne doit pas se faire au moyen d'un
atténuateur raccordé à la sortie du dispositif.
