LPRPDE5
INFORMATION TO USER
This device complies 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for Class A 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
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 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
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device falls below the power requirements for Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and
may be worn within 2cm of the body.

WARNING: The PDX-5 is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting
devices, separation distances of (i) 20 centimeters or more for antennas with gains < 6
dBi or (ii) 2 meters or more for antennas with gains = 6 dBi should be maintained
between the antenna of this device and nearby persons during operation. To ensure
compliance, operation at distances closer than this is not recommended

PDE-5 and PDX-5
Manual Supplement
PREFACE
Since many of the PDE-4 and PDX-4 systems are still in use today and the basic
operation of the system does not change after upgrading to PDE-5 and PDX-5, this
supplement is not intended to replace the RadStar™ manual. This supplement highlights
areas where the PDE-5 and PDX-5 differ from the PDE-4 and PDX-4.
1.0 Introduction
The new MaxStream modem was integrated into the system in a manner that allowed
continued operation with existing software which makes the change nearly transparent to
the operators and users. The PDE-4 is upgraded by replacing the PROXIM RF Modem
with a MaxStream RF Modem and adding a code translation PWA. The translation PWA
converts the original software / firmware codes into codes understood by the new
MaxStream RF Modem. The PDX-4 Base Station can not be upgraded and is replaced
with a completely new PDX-5 Base Station that incorporates the new MaxStream RF
Modem and the code translation PWA. Additionally a USB port was added for ease of
use with more modern computers. PDE/X-4 units will not communicate with a PDE/X-5;
therefore the new upgrade is not backwards compatible with existing units. It is
backwards compatible with the existing operating software including Barletts software.
2.0 Functional Changes

MaxStream RF Modems.

5.0 Hardware Changes
The upgraded PDE-5 has been re-certified to be compliant with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Certification testing indicated that electrical noise suppression components are required
on each probe cable. The noise suppression components must be installed on all external
probe cables as shown in the following figure and must remain in place at all times.
