1. INTRODUCTION
The MBS Units are the outdoor modules that make up a Mast Mounted Base Station (MBS). They
are independent units that can be interconnected with each other to increase the base station capacity. A
MBS consists of a maximum of two MBS Units.

devices. If you have any concerns relating to long term health risks associated with using RF wireless
devices, you should obtain advice from your employer.
FCC radiation exposure statement
This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled applications where users have been made
aware of the potential risks for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. This product is not
authorised for general population, consumer or similar use. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This equipment complies with FCC and ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. The antenna should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 2 m between the
radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
FCC compliance labelling on RF Exposure
The following compliance product labelling can be found in a conspicuous location of the MBS Unit
radio for North America market:
FCC notice on operating the device
The device may contain functions that are not operational in U.S Territories except as noted in the
certification filing. Devices may be restricted in frequency by the FCC TCB Grant. Please refer to it for
allowed frequency ranges. The TCB Grant may have extended frequencies as noted in the certification filing
and Section 2.927(b) may apply to the authorisation. The device complies with 47 CFR Part 90.203 (e), in
that the operator cannot directly program the transmit frequencies using the normal accessible external
controls. All instructions detailed in this manual must be followed in order to ensure compliance with RF
exposure limits.
Failure to observe these restrictions may result in exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits.
ISED Canada information on RF Exposure
The Government of Canada provides further information about RF Exposure by means of official
publications that are available on the following website:

Only use PowerTrunk approved antennas with this product. The use of non-approved antennas may
damage the product, will result in the non-compliance with regulatory requirements, will compromise the
product safety ratings, will reduce the length of operating time and will invalidate the product warranty.
Once the antenna has been installed, follow the guidelines for exposure of the human body to high
and low frequency electromagnetic fields. Follow the supplier’s / manufacturer’s instructions.
NEVER use your device without an antenna attached. Transmitting without an antenna may damage
your device
NEVER touch the antenna when your device is transmitting. This may cause a minor burn to the skin
and may affect the operational range of the antenna.
NEVER use your device if the antenna shows signs of damage.
