FCC Notice to Users and Operators
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 a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in
which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. If this equipment does cause
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to correct the interference by using one of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase separation between the equipment and 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.
This Part 15 radio device operates on a non-interference basis with other devices operating at this frequency. Any
changes or modification to said product not expressly approved by Tropos Networks could void the user's authority to
operate this device.
5.8 GHz Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Systems
Operation of this device in point-to-multipoint systems is limited by federal regulation to
36 dBm EIRP. Unit conducted power in the 5.8 GHz band should be adjusted such that the sum of conducted power
and antenna gain does not exceed 36 dBm EIRP.
The maximum antenna gain for point-to-point operation is 19 dBi. The effective EIRP limit for point-to-point system
is 45 dBm EIRP.
Industry Canada
Notice to users and operators:
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference Causing Equipment Regulations.
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.

Cet appareillage numrique de la classe B rpond toutes les exigences de linterfrence canadienne causant des
rglements dquipement. Lopration est sujette aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet dispositif peut ne pas causer
l'interfrence nocive, et (2) ce dispositif doit accepter nimporte quelle interfrence reue, y compris l'interfrence qui
peut causer lopration peu dsire.
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in Chapter 4, Antenna Information. Antennas not
included in the chapter or having a gain greater than 12 dBi in the 2.4 GHz band and 19 dBi in the 5.8 GHz band are
strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
European Union WEEE Notice
For EU member countries, this symbol means: Do not dispose of this equipment as unsorted
municipal waste. This equipment must be collected separately.
The return and collection of this product has not been defined at this time, please contact Tropos
Networks for return and/or collection.
It is important for users of this equipment to participate in reuse, recycling, and other forms of
