1. Safety, environment, licensing
1.1. Frequency
RAy2 microwave links designed for operation in licensed bands must be used in accordance with license
issued by the Telecommunications Authority for the area the device is operating in.
RAy2 microwave links must comply with the maximum permitted radiated power (EIRP) in accordance
with conditions of the given country.
1.2. Safety distance
Safety distances with respect to the US health limits of the electromagnetic field intensity
are in the Minimum Safety Distance tables below, calculated for different antennas and
RAy power levels.

1.3. Professional installation
RAy2 units are only intended for installation by professionally trained people and in locations not ac-
cessible to the public. Installation and servicing must be carried out by personnel with appropriate
technical training and knowledge of potential hazards.
RAy2 units shall be installed according to local Electrical Safety Codes.
RAy3 Microwave Link – © RACOM s.r.o.8
Safety, environment, licensing

It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that all building and safety codes are met and that the
installation is fully completed and equipment properly secured.
1.4. RoHS and WEEE compliance
This product is fully compliant with the European Parlament's 2011/65/EU RoHS
(Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic
Equipment) and 2012/19/EU WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
environmental directives.
Used equipment must be collected separately, and disposed of properly. Racom
has instigated a programme to manage the reuse, recycling, and recovery of
waste in an environmentally safe manner using processes that comply with the
WEEE Directive.
Battery Disposal - This product may contain a battery. Batteries must be disposed of properly, and may
not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste within the European Union. See the product document-
ation for specific battery information. Batteries are marked with a symbol, which may include lettering
to indicate cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), or mercury (Hg). For proper recycling, return the battery to your
supplier or to a designated collection point.
1.5. Liability for Defects and Safety Instructions
Please read these safety instructions carefully before using the product:
• Liability for defects does not apply to any product that has been used in a manner that conflicts with
the instructions contained in this operator manual, if the case in which the radio modem is packed
has been opened, or if the equipment has been tampered with.
• The radio equipment can only be operated on frequencies stipulated by the body authorised by the
radio operation administration in the respective country and cannot exceed the maximum permitted
output power. RACOM is not responsible for products used in an unauthorised way.
• Equipment mentioned in this operator manual may only be used in accordance with instructions
contained in this manual. Error-free and safe operation of this equipment is only guaranteed if this
equipment is transported, stored, operated and controlled in the proper manner. The same applies
to equipment maintenance.
•In order to prevent damage to the radio modem and other terminal equipment the supply must always
be disconnected upon connecting or disconnecting the cable to the radio modem data interface. It
is necessary to ensure that connected equipment has been grounded to the same potential.
• Only the undermentioned manufacturer is entitled to repair any devices.
• Should the RAy2 unit be used with accessories other than those recommended, Racom takes no
responsibility for any malfunction caused by the use of such accessories. Using unsuitable accessor-

1.7. Warranty
RACOM supplied parts or equipment ("equipment") are covered under warranty for inherently faulty
parts and workmanship for a warranty period as stated in the delivery documentation from the date of
dispatch to the customer. The warranty does not cover custom modifications to software. During the
warranty period RACOM shall, on its option, fit, repair or replace ("service") faulty equipment, always
provided that malfunction has occurred during normal use, not due to improper use, whether deliberate
or accidental, such as attempted repair or modification by any unauthorised person; nor due to the
RAy3 Microwave Link – © RACOM s.r.o.10
Safety, environment, licensing

action of abnormal or extreme environmental conditions such as overvoltage, liquid immersion or
lightning strike.
Any equipment subject to repair under warranty must be returned by prepaid freight to RACOM direct.
The serviced equipment shall be returned by RACOM to the customer by prepaid freight. If circumstances
do not permit the equipment to be returned to RACOM, then the customer is liable and agrees to reim-
burse RACOM for expenses incurred by RACOM during servicing the equipment on site. When
equipment does not qualify for servicing under warranty, RACOM shall charge the customer and be
reimbursed for costs incurred for parts and labour at prevailing rates.
This warranty agreement represents the full extent of the warranty cover provided by RACOM to the
customer, as an agreement freely entered into by both parties.
RACOM warrants the equipment to function as described, without guaranteeing it as befitting customer
intent or purpose. Under no circumstances shall RACOM's liability extend beyond the above, nor shall
RACOM, its principals, servants or agents be liable for any consequential loss or damage caused directly
or indirectly through the use, misuse, function or malfunction of the equipment, always subject to such
statutory protection as may explicitly and unavoidably apply hereto.

1.9. FCC authorization of transmitters
FCC verification
RAy2-11 and RAy2-18-C were verified for compliance according to CFR 47 part 101 [see §101.139(a)].
FCC comment -
according to §101.141 and considering the low spectral efficiency the following modulations are not
allowed in RAy2-11:
ModulationBandwidth
QPSK2.5 MHz
QPSK3.75 MHz
QPSK5 MHz
QPSK, 16-QAM, 32-QAM10 MHz
QPSK30 MHz
QPSK40 MHz
Except during anomalous signal fading. During anomalous signal fading, licensees may adjust to a
modulation specified in their authorization if such modulation is necessary, to allow the licensees to
maintain communications, even if the modulation does not comply with the capacity and loading require-
ments -101.141 (3).
FCC compliance
RAy2-24 complies with CFR 47 part 15.
