Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WILINK I MODULAR BASE STATION SYSTEM MANUAL
v
Radio Frequency Interference Statement
The Subscriber Unit equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a class B digital device, pursuant 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 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.
The Base Station equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a class A digital device, pursuant to ETSI EN 301 489-1 rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in commercial, business and industrial 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. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at the user’s own expense.
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 - General
For the following safety considerations, “Instrument” means the WILINK I units’
components and their cables.
Grounding
Base Station chassis and outdoor units are required to be bonded to protective
grounding using the bonding stud or screw provided with each unit.
Safety Considerations – DC Powered Equipment
CAUTION ATTENTION
Risk of electric shock and energy hazard.
Disconnecting one Power Interface Unit (PIU)
disconnects only one PIU module. To isolate the
Base Station completely, disconnect both PIUs.
Risque de décharge électrique et
d'electrocution.
La déconnection d'un seul module
d'alimentation (PIU) n'isole pas complètement la
Station de Base. Pour cela, il faut
impérativement débrancher les deux modules
d'alimentation (PIU).
Restricted Access Area: The DC powered equipment should only be installed in
a Restricted Access Area.

Lithium Battery
WILINK I MODULAR BASE STATION SYSTEM MANUAL
vi
Installation Codes: The equipment must be installed according to the latest
edition of the country national electrical codes. For North America, equipment
must be installed in accordance with the US National Electrical Code and the
Canadian Electrical Code.
Overcurrent Protection: A readily accessible Listed branch circuit overcurrent
protective device, rated 40A, must be incorporated in the building wiring.
CAUTION: This equipment is designed to permit connection between the earthed
conductor of the DC supply circuit and the grounding conductor at the
equipment. See installation instructions.
The equipment must be connected directly to the DC Supply System
grounding electrode conductor.
All equipment in the immediate vicinity must be grounded in the same way,
and not be grounded elsewhere.
The DC supply system is to be local, i.e. within the same premises as the
equipment.
There shall be no disconnect device between the grounded circuit conductor
of the DC source (return) and the point of connection of the grounding
electrode conductor.
Lithium Battery
The battery on the NPU card is not intended for replacement.
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 Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
WILINK I MODULAR BASE STATION SYSTEM MANUAL
vii
Outdoor Units and Antennas Installation and Grounding
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, The Supplier is not liable for any injury, damage or
regulation violations associated with or caused by installation, grounding or
lightning protection.
Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Waste
Disposal of Electronic and Electrical Waste
Pursuant to the WEEE EU Directive electronic and electrical waste must not be disposed of with
unsorted waste. Please contact your local recycling authority for disposal of this product.
