Compliance
General
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Motorola could void the user’s authority to
operate the system.
NOTE: This system has achieved Type Approval in various countries around the world. This means
that the system has been tested against various local technical regulations and found to comply. The
frequency bands in which the system operates may be ‘unlicensed’ and, in these bands, the system
can be used provided it does not cause interference. Further, it is not guaranteed protection against
interference from other products and installations.

2
The system has been tested for compliance to both US (FCC) and European (ETSI) specifications. It
has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules in the USA and appropriate European ENs. These limits have
been designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference. However the equipment
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
NOTE: A Class B Digital Device is a device that is marketed for use in a residential environment,
notwithstanding use in commercial, business and industrial environments.
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:
xReorient or relocate the Outdoor Unit (ODU).
xIncrease the separation between the affected equipment and ODU.
xConnect the ODU/PIDU into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
xConsult your installer or supplier for help.
Deployment and Operation
The Radio Regulations of various countries’ limits constrain the operation of radio products generally.
In particular the local regulator may limit the amount of conducted or radiated transmitter power and
may require registration of the radio link.
The power transmitted by the PTP 600 Series Bridge is controlled by the use of Region-specific
License Keys.
The following examples show how the regulatory limits apply in some specific countries at the current
time. Operators should note that regulations are subject to change.
Contact your supplier/installer to ensure that your product is set for the correct License Key for your
Country/Region and to ensure that you have fulfilled all the local regulatory requirements, especially if
you are intending to use a link with external antennas. Footnotes to the table below indicate countries
where registration of the link is currently mandatory.

has been shown to comply with the limits for emitted spurious radiation for a Class B digital device,

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to other radio communications. There is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
CAUTION: When planning a link that will use Connectorized PTP 600 Series bridges (with
external antennas), ensure that regulatory requirements are met for the installation, as
described in Section 13.6 “Regulatory Issues with Connectorized Units”.
