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.

3
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
device1, 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.
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 Outdoor Unit (ODU).
•Increase the separation between the affected equipment and ODU.
•Connect the ODU/PIDU into a power outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
•Consult your installer or supplier for help.
Deployment and Operation
The Radio Regulations of various countries’ limits constrain the operation of radio products gen-
erally. 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 300 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. Notes below the tables indicate
countries where registration of the link is currently mandatory.
Class B Digital Device, A digital device that is marketed for use in a residential environment notwithstanding use
1
in commercial, business and industrial environments.

Regulations applicable to 5.4GHz PTP 300 Series Bridge variant
Examples of Regulatory Limits at 5.4GHz
ETSI Under ETSI Regulations, operation of this product is only allowed with a License
Key for Region 24 (30dBm or 1W EIRP (Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power)
with Radar Detection)
Canada Under Industry Canada Regulations, operation of this product is only allowed with a
License Key for Region 13 (30dBm or 1W EIRP with Radar Detection and barring
of the band 5600-5650MHz)
General Notice Applicable to Europe
This equipment complies with the essential requirements for the EU R&E Directive
1999/5/EC.
NOTE:In regions other than EU/USA, specific local regulations may apply. It is the responsibility
of the installer/user to check that the equipment as deployed meets local regulatory requirements.

5
Regulations applicable to 5.8GHz PTP 300 Series Bridge variant
Examples of Regulatory Limits at 5.8GHz
USA / Canada / Taiwan Equipment can be operated in any mode, best results will be
obtained using Region 1 settings
UK Under UK Regulations, operation of this product is allowed with a
License Key for Region 4 (3W EIRP with Radar Detection)
Eire Under Eire Regulations, operation of this product is only allowed
with a License Key for Region 6 (33 dBm or 2W EIRP. Note lower
power limits in narrow bandwidths.)
Norway Under Eire Regulations, operation of this product is only allowed
with a License Key for Region 7 (10 W/MHz or 200 W EIRP)
Germany Operation of this product is only allowed with a License Key for
Region 22 (36 dBm or 4W EIRP)
Denmark Operation of this product is only allowed with a License Key for
Region 27 (Radar Detection and RTTT)
General Notice Applicable to Europe
This equipment complies with the essential requirements for the EU R&E Directive
1999/5/EC.
The use of 5.8GHz for Point to Point radio links is not harmonized across the EU.
However, the regulatory situation in Europe is changing and the radio spectrum may become
available in other countries in the near future. Please contact Motorola for the latest situation.
