• RF Radiation Exposure and Hazard Warning
• Non-Modification Statement
• Deployment Statement
Class B interference statement
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. 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.
FCC caution
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
RF radiation exposure and hazard statement
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, this device must be installed in a location such
that the antenna of the device will be greater than 20 cm (8 in.) away from all persons. Using higher gain
antennas and types of antennas not covered under the FCC certification of this product is not allowed.
Installers of the radio and end users of the product must adhere to the installation instructions provided in this
manual. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
Non-modification statement
Use only the supplied internal antenna, or external antennas supplied by the manufacturer. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the WLAN Access Point 2330A/2330B and violate
FCC regulations. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Contact Nortel for a list of approved
2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz external antennas.
This device must be operated with the CAT-5 Ethernet cable installed on each activated AP 2330A/2330B
Ethernet Port to ensure compliance with the Class B emissions standards. Failure to comply with this
installation requirement may cause the device to operate in excess of the allowable emissions limits.
Deployment statement
This product is certified for indoor deployment only. Outdoor operation is allowed by exception only.
Please follow the guidelines outlined in the Outdoor Operation Section in this guide.
Canadian IC statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions in Canada:
1 this device may not cause interference, and
2 this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile Satellite systems) this device is
intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its
transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing and not supported by the WLAN Access
Point 2330A/2330B. Because high power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) in
the 5250-5350 MHz band, these radars could cause interference and/or damage to license exempt WLAN
devices.

The professional installer should use the configuration utility provided with this product to verify the current
channel of operation, the expected transmit power level, and to confirm that the device is operating in
conformance with the spectrum usage rules for the selected European Community country. If operation is
occurring outside of the allowable channels as indicated in this guide, then operation of the product must cease
immediately and the installer must consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless
network.
This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community. Additional restrictions of
use for the 2330A/2330B access point within the European Community countries in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz
band are listed below.
• The frequencies associated with channels 1 to 13 in the 2.400 to 2.4835 GHz band are allowed to be used
either indoors or outdoors in all countries of the European Community, except where noted in the
Outdoor Operation Section.
The 2330A/2330B, whether using the internal or approved external antennas, is guaranteed to meet this limit
by automatically adjusting the transmit power level through the operating software depending upon the gain of
the selected antenna.
Operation using the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz, 5.25 to 5.35 GHz,
and 5.470 to 5.725 GHz channels in the European Community
To remain in conformance with European National spectrum usage laws, follow the channel limitations
associated with the 5 GHz bands as specified in this document. The professional installer should verify the
current channel of operation and the expected transmit power level of the WLAN Access Point 2330A/2330B
to confirm that the device is operating in conformance with the spectrum usage rules for the European
Community country where the unit is being installed. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable
frequencies or above the power levels, as indicated in this guide, then operation of the product must cease
immediately and the installer must consult with the local technical support staff responsible for the wireless
network.
This device is intended to be operated in all countries of the European Community. Additional restrictions of
use for the 2330A/2330B access point within the European Community countries in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz,

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)
This device implements a DFS feature in accordance with the limits in EN 301-893v1.2.3, Section 4.6 and
Annex D, Tables D.1, D.2 and D.4 for a device operating in the mode defined as "Master". Section 4.6, Tables
6 and 7 of this document define the requirements prior to using a channel and during normal operation for a
Master device (i.e., Interference Detection Threshold, Channel Availability Check Time, Uniform Spreading,
Channel Closing Transmission Time and Channel Move Time). This product qualifies for this category since
the maximum achievable transmit power is greater than 23 dBm per the requirements of Table D.2 in Annex D
of the standard.
IEEE 802.11a operation in the 5250 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz frequency bands is governed by
ETSI EN 301-893v1.2.3 and the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC. Effective March 31, 2008, EN 301-893 v1.2.3
will be replaced by EN 301-893v1.3.1. The AP-2330B access point will meet compliance with EN
301-893v1.3.1 by disabling operation, via software, in the 5250 to 5350 MHz and 5470 to 5725 MHz
frequency bands because it cannot meet the DFS requirements as outlined in EN 301-893v1.3.1.
Transmit Power Control (TPC)
European Regulatory requirements specify that wireless devices must employ Transmit Power Control (TPC)
to reduce the potential for interference to other communication systems operating in the 5 GHz frequency
bands. This device includes a provision for adjustment of Transmit Power in accordance with the limits in EN
301-893v1.2.3, Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
