It is intended as a supplement to training and documentation by BelAir Networks Inc. or its authorized agents. Page 2 of 13 B2CH072AA Product Manual 4.9 GHz Public Safety Band Radio Module Introduction The B2CH072AA(hereafter referred to as the module) is a 4.9 GHz radio module compatible with the IEEE 802.11 standard for Wireless LAN operation. It is designed to be interoperable with WLAN products which are based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology. The module contains a complete 802.11a radio and Medium Access Control
(MAC) protocol engine which allows implementation of an 802.11a module. The module is not intended for stand-alone operation. It will only be marketed as a complete product, in conjunction with a package, DC power supply and antenna (hereafter referred to as the product or the final product). Since the module has a BelAir networks proprietary digital interface, it cannot be directly connected to any standard telecommunications or computer devices. It can only be used with final products designed and authorized specifically for that purpose.

the above table for a particular combination of antenna type, frequency of operation, and type of usage, will exceed FCC limits and void authority to install or operate this equipment. Page 7 of 13 B2CH072AA Product Manual 4.9 GHz Public Safety Band Radio Module Product Installation Products which contain B2CH072AA-A shall only be installed by professional installers trained by BelAir Networks or its authorized agents. In addition to normal installation procedures and good installation practice, professional installers are responsible to ensure that:
Only an approved antenna (see above) is connected to the module, and the antenna is mounted in such a manner and in such a location that access to the antenna by the general population is minimized. Access to the antenna by the general population should be limited to more than the minimum safety distance. This distance is:
