Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Compliance
This device operates at 2.4 GHz, 5.15 - 5.35 GHz, and 5.725 - 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:
• The 8675-US2 must be used indoors only and must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm
(8 inches) from all persons.
• 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.
See the “Installation and Initialization” chapter in the AP-700 User Guide for cabling, mounting, and antenna installation
instructions.
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
Optionally, a professional installer can connect two external antennas to the AP-700.
NOTE: AP-700 models 8675-US2 and 8675-AU do not provide external antenna connectors for 5 GHz (802.11a)
operation.
All products using external antennas must be professionally installed, and the transmit power of the system must be
adjusted by the professional installers to ensure that the system EIRP is in compliance with the limit specified by the
regulatory authority of the country of application.
Follow the mounting instructions included with your external antenna, and then connect the antenna cable to the AP.
Then see the following sections:
•Adjusting Tx Output Power
•Antenna Types and Maximum Gain
Adjusting Tx Output Power
NOTE: When the system is set to transmit at the maximum power, professional installers must ensure that the maximum
EIRP limit is not exceeded. To achieve this, they may have to add attenuation between the device and the
antenna when a high gain antenna is used.
Use the following formula in combination with the table of EIRP limits in US and EU countries to calculate system transmit
power (based on EIRP limits) of these countries:
Tx Power (dBm) = EIRP Limit (dBm) + FL (dB) – G (dB)
where:
Tx Power = Output power measured at the end of the required coax adaptor cable
EIRP Limit = EIRP limits specified below
FL = Coax loss (including loss of connectors) between the end of the white coax adaptor cable and the antenna
G = Antenna Gain
Transmit output power can be reduced by selecting “Enable TX Power Control” on the Configure > Interfaces > Op
Mode screen. Refer to the AP-700 User Guide for more information.
