FCC Compliance Information
This device operates in the 2.4 GHz band in compliance with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and in the licensed 4.9 GHz band
in compliance with Part 90 of the FCC Rules.
Operation in the 2.4 GHz band 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.
Operation in the 4.9 GHz band requires an FCC license. As specified in Part 90.1203 of the FCC rules, eligibility
requirements are as follows:
1. Entities providing public safety services as defined under section 90.523 are eligible to hold a Commission license
for systems operating in the 4940–4990 MHz band. All of the requirements and conditions set forth in that section
also govern authorizations in the 4940–4990 MHz band.
2. 4.9 GHz band licensees may enter into sharing agreements or other arrangements for use of the spectrum with
entities that do not meet these eligibility requirements. However, all applications in the band are limited to
operations in support of public safety.
To comply with the FCC radio frequency exposure requirements, the following antenna installation and device operating
configurations must be satisfied:
•Product models using external antennas require professional installation.
• The antennas used for professional installation must be fixed-mounted on indoor/outdoor permanent structures with a
separation distance of at least 123 cm from all persons.
• Antennas must not be co-located and must not operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Modifications
Changes or modifications to this device that are not expressly approved by the manufacturer of the product could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Warnings
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 again 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 off and on, the user is encouraged to try
and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the 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.

Information for Professional Installers
Adjusting Tx Output Power
Use the following formula in combination with the table of EIRP limits to calculate system transmit power (based on EIRP
limits):
Tx Power Allowed (dBm) = EIRP Limit (dBm) + CL (dB) – G (dB)
where:
Tx Power = Output power measured at the antenna input
EIRP Limit = EIRP limits specified below
CL = Coax cable loss including loss of connectors
G = Antenna Gain
Antenna Types and Maximum Gain
Professional installers should select only the antenna types listed in the following table, with gain not exceeding the listed
maximum gain for each type.
Band EIRP Limit (dBm)
2.4 GHz (Point-to-Multipoint) 36
2.4 GHz (Point-to-Point) When G < 6: 36
When G ≥ 6, use the following equation:
36 -
4.9 GHz 10 MHz channel: 26
20 MHz channel: 29
Frequency Band Antenna Type Maximum Gain (dBi)
2.4 GHz Omni Directional 12
Flat Panel 14
Sector 17
4.9 GHz Any 10 MHz channel: 6 dBi
20 MHz channel: 9 dBi
