Regulatory Compliance
General 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.
FCC - Compliance
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.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Indoor Units comply with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
Warning
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that when using the outdoor
antenna kits in the United States (or where FCC rules apply), only those
antennas certified with the product are used. The use of any antenna other
than those certified with the product is expressly forbidden in accordance to
FCC rules CFR47 part 15.204.
Caution
Outdoor units and antennas should be installed ONLY by experienced
installation professionals who are familiar with local building and safety
codes and, wherever applicable, are licensed by the appropriate
government regulatory authorities. Failure to do so may void the product
warranty and may expose the end user or the service provider to legal and
financial liabilities. Resellers or distributors of this equipment are not liable
for injury, damage or violation of regulations associated with the installation
of outdoor units or antennas.
Warning
This product was tested with special accessories - indoor unit (IDU or PoE),
FTP Cat 5e shielded cable with sealing gasket, 12 AWG grounding cable -
which must be used with the unit to insure compliance.

RADWIN 2000 User Manual Release 2.2 iv
(1) These devices may not cause harmful interference.
(2) These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Canadian Emission Requirements for Indoor Units
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numẻrique de la classe B est conforme ảla norme NMB-003 du Canada.
China MII
Operation of the equipment is only allowed under China MII 5.8GHz band regulation
configuration with EIRP limited to 33 dBm (2 Watt).
India WPC
Operation of the equipment is only allowed under India WPC GSR-38 for 5.8GHz band
regulation configuration.
Unregulated
In countries where the radio is not regulated the equipment can be operated in any regulation
configuration, best results will be obtained using Universal regulation configuration.
Safety Practices
Applicable requirements of National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70; and the National
Electrical Safety Code, ANSI/IEEE C2, must be considered during installation.
NOTES:
1. A Primary Protector is not required to protect the exposed wiring as long as the exposed
wiring length is limited to less than or equal to 140 feet, and instructions are provided to
avoid exposure of wiring to accidental contact with lightning and power conductors in
accordance with NEC Sections 725-54 (c) and 800-30.
In all other cases, an appropriate Listed Primary Protector must be provided. Refer to Articles
800 and 810 of the NEC for details.
2. For protection of ODU against direct lightning strikes, appropriate requirements of NFPA
780 should be considered in addition to NEC.
3. For Canada, appropriate requirements of the CEC 22.1 including Section 60 and additional
requirements of CAN/CSA-B72 must be considered as applicable.
