device, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
injury to persons, including the following:
• Operate and install this product as described in this manual. This device must be installed and used
in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• This product is suitable for installation in air handling spaces (plenum).
• Use only the AC/DC power supply adapter provided. For replacement, contact your local supplier or
distributor.
• To avoid the risk of electric shock from lightning, do not use this product during an electrical storm.
• Installation of this product must conform to local regulations and codes.
• When using this product with an external antenna, see the installation documentation provided with
the antenna system.
• No user serviceable parts; all repairs and service must be handled by a qualified service center.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance
This device operates at 5.25 - 5.35 GHz, and 5.75 - 5.85 in compliance 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.
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 100 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

Adjusting Tx Output Power
Use the following formula in combination with the table of EIRP limits in US and EU countries to
calculate system transmit power (based on ERIP limits) of these countries:
Tx Power (dBm) = EIRP Limit (dBm) + FL (dB) – G (dB)
where:
Tx Power = Output power measured at the antenna input
EIRP Limit = EIRP limits specified below
FL = Feeder loss including loss of connectors
G = Antenna Gain
