Regulatory Compliance
FCC/IC - Compliance
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 and IC RSS standards. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against 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 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.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor
antenna kits, only those antennas certified with the product are used. The use
of any antenna other than those certified with the product is expressly
forbidden by FCC rules 47 CFR part 15.204 and IC RSS standards.
Il est de la responsabilité de l'installateur de s'assurer que lorsque vous
utilisez les kits d'antennes extérieures, seules les antennes certifiés avec le
produit sont utilisés. L'utilisation d'une antenne autre que ceux qui sont
certifiés avec le produit est expressément interdite par la réglementation FCC
partie 47 CFR 15.204 et IC normes RSS.
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety codes
and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate government
regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product warranty and
may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and financial
Caution liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable for injury,
damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation of outdoor
units or antennas. The installer should configure the output power level of
antennas according to country regulations and antenna type.

Overview
The AP0158770 is a wireless module operating in the 4.9, 5.1, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.8 GHz
frequency bands. It is a TDD OFDM radio supporting 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 40 MHz and
80 MHz channel bandwidths.
The wireless module cannot work as a stand-alone device. It can operate and be controlled
only when attached to a digital main board and altogether assembled in an enclosure
suitable for outdoor use. The assembly of the wireless module attached to the digital main
board is hereafter referred to as ‘ODU’. The ODU in its various outdoor enclosures is
manufactured by RADWIN.
The wireless module is certified as a limited modular approval type under the FCC ID: Q3K-
5XACMOLD. It is also certified under IC: 5100A-5XACMOD.
Condition of Use
The AP0158770 wireless module is a proprietary radio interface and can only be connected
to digital boards manufactured by RADWIN. The ODU resides in an outdoor enclosure also
manufactured and assembled by RADWIN or its subcontractors. The wireless module is not
for sale to the general public.
FCC rules and IC Regulation Restrictions
The ODU firmware is factory programmed to operate under the FCC rules and Industry
Canada regulation restrictions. The firmware is locked and inaccessible by any third party.
As a result of the above the user interface allows both the installer and the user to control
the ODU only within the boundaries of the regional restrictions.
Antennas
The AP0158770 wireless module is certified with a wide range of antenna types covering
both Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint systems up to 32 dBi gain.

Maximum Output Power
5725 – 5850 MHz band - FCC/IC
The maximum output power can be set as follows, when operating in the 5.8 GHz band,
under FCC and IC regulations. The power values are for PtP systems and PtMP systems with
0 to 6 dBi total antenna assembly gain. For PtMP systems the total EIRP is limited to 36
dBm. Therefore the output power for these systems, using higher than 6 dBi total antenna
assembly gains will be reduced to comply with 36 dBm EIRP.
The highest conducted output power shall be limited to 30 dBm in all channel bandwidths
5150 – 5250 MHz band – FCC
The maximum output power can be set as follows when transmitting in the 5.1 GHz band,
under FCC regulations.
The total EIRP limit for PtP applications is 53 dBm.
The total EIRP limit for PtMP applications is 36 dBm.
The total EIRP limit for PtMP applications when transmitting at elevations above 30° relative
to the horizon is 21 dBm.
5 MHz: 25.0 dBm
10 MHz: 27.0 dBm
20 MHz: 27.0 dBm

4940 – 4990 MHz band - FCC/IC
The maximum output power can be set as follows, when operating in the 4.9 GHz band,
under FCC and IC. The power values shown below are for systems using 0 to 26 dBi total
antenna assembly gain. Systems using 29 dBi antenna gain must reduce output power by 3
dB.
5 MHz: 26.97 dBm
10 MHz: 27.41 dBm
20 MHz: 28.24 dBm
Radio parameters accessed by end-user
The following parameters can be accessed by user:
