Electronic Emission Notices
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1This device may not cause harmful interference.
2This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
FCC Radio Frequency Interference Statement
The BreezeNET B 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 to ETSI EN
301 489-1 rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential
environment notwithstanding use in commercial, business and industrial

Legal Rights
BreezeNET B xiv System Manual
environments. 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.
FCC Radiation Hazard Warning
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirement in section 1.1307, the antenna
used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent
structures with a separation distance of at least 2 meter from al persons for
antennas with a gain up to 28 dBi.
Antenna Compliance Statement
This device has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in Table 1-2,
and having a maximum gain of 28 dBi. Antennas not included in this list or
having a gain greater than 28 dBi are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
The required antenna impedance is 50 Ohms.
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.
R&TTE Compliance Statement
This equipment complies with the appropriate essential requirements of Article 3
of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC.
Safety Considerations
For the following safety considerations, "Instrument" means the BreezeNET B
system's components and their cables.
Caution
To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing unless you are qualified to
do so.
Line Voltage
Before connecting this instrument to the power line, make sure that the voltage of
the power source matches the requirements of the instrument.
Radio
The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible
harmful exposure to this energy, do not stand or work for extended periods of time
in front of its antenna. The long-term characteristics or the possible physiological
effects of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic fields have not been yet fully
investigated.
Outdoor Unit and Antenna Installation and Grounding

Legal Rights
BreezeNET B xv System Manual
Ensure that outdoor units, antennas and supporting structures are properly
installed to eliminate any physical hazard to either people or property. Make sure
that the installation of the outdoor unit, antenna and cables is performed in
accordance with all relevant national and local building and safety codes. Even
where grounding is not mandatory according to applicable regulation and national
codes, it is highly recommended to ensure that the outdoor unit and the antenna
mast (when using external antenna) are grounded and suitable lightning
protection devices are used so as to provide protection against voltage surges and
static charges. In any event, Alvarion is not liable for any injury, damage or
regulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or
lightning protection.
