AP0136450 RF Module Operating in the 3.4-3.7 GHz bands REFERENCE GUIDE 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. RADWIN Ltd. is not responsible for any radio or communication interference caused by using other than specified or recommended cables and battery or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. Changes or modifications or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer 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. Warning Avertissement Caution Il est de la responsabilit de l'installateur de s'assurer que lorsque vous utilisez les kits d'antennes extrieures, seules les antennes certifis avec le produit sont utiliss. L'utilisation d'une antenne autre que ceux qui sont certifis avec le produit est expressment interdite par la rglementation 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 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. AP0136450 Reference Guide i Prudence Les units extrieures et les antennes doivent tre installs que par des professionnels expriments d'installation qui sont familiers avec les normes locales et les codes de scurit et, si applicable, sont agres par les autorits gouvernementales de rglementation comptents. Ne pas le faire peut annuler la garantie du produit et peuvent exposer l'utilisateur final ou le fournisseur de services financiers. Revendeurs ou distributeurs de ces quipements ne sont pas responsables des blessures, des dommages ou violation des rglements lis l'installation des units extrieures ou des antennes. L'installateur doit configurer le niveau de puissance de sortie des antennes conformment aux rglementations nationales et le type d'antenne. d'obligations juridiques et This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 57cm between the radiator and your body when operating in the 3.65-3.7 GHz band and 110cm when operating in the 3.45-3.65 GHz band. Warning Cet quipement doit tre install et utilis une distance minimale de 57cm entre le radiateur et votre corps lors d'oprations dans la bande de 3.65 3.7 GHz et 110cm quand fonctionnant dans la bande de 3,45 3,65 GHz Avertissement The module is granted to operate under FCC/IC certification in the 3.65-
3.70 GHz band and under IC certification in the 3.45-.365 GHz band only. Warning This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and with Industry Canada license-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Cet appareil est conforme la norme d'Industrie Canada exempts de licence RSS (s). Son fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes:
1. Cet appareil ne peut pas causer d'interfrences, et 2. Cet appareil doit accepter toute interfrence, y compris les interfrences qui peuvent causer un mauvais fonctionnement de l'appareil. This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numrique de la classe B est conforme la norme NMB-003 du Canada AP0136450 Reference Guide ii Overview The AP0136450 is an RF module operating in the 3.4 3.7 GHz frequency bands. It is a TDD OFDM radio supporting 5 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz and 40 MHz channel bandwidths. The RF 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 RF 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 RF module is certified as a limited modular approval type with the FCC ID:
Q3KRW3XMOD and IC: 5100A-RW3XMOD. Condition of Use The AP0136450 RF 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 RF 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 AP0136450 RF module is certified with various antenna types covering both Point-to-
Point and Point-to-Multipoint systems. They are all dual pole cross polarized antennas and they are the only ones to be used with the RF module. AP0136450 Reference Guide 1 Certified Antennas Following is the list of antennas certified for use with the AP0136450 RF module:
