1 Product Overview
The RDL-3000 Radio Module RDL-3000-RMH fixed white space device is comprised of
a proprietary Media Access Control (MAC) protocol engine and Time Division Duplexing
(TDD)/ Orthogonal Frequency Division Duplexing (OFDM) digital radio.
The RDL-3000-RMH module is not designed for stand-alone operation. The module is
sold as one component of a packaged system which includes a suitable housing for the
module connectors for required external components including a power supply and
antenna system. This is afterwards referred to as the 'final product'. The final product
may be designed and manufactured by Redline or a licensed third party.
Frequency settings within the specified frequency ranges are software keyed to be
compliant with specific regulatory agency requirements in the region of deployment.
RDL-3000-RMH: 473 - 611 MHz
Important: Read this entire document prior to installing or operating the RDL-3000-RMH
module.

3 Module Installation and Service
3.1 Installation Into a Final Product
The RDL-3000-RMH must only be installed by trained professional technicians
authorized by Redline or its agents. The module must be installed only into an approved
enclosure (see Conditions of Use) and only at an approved manufacturing facility or
service depot.
3.2 Module Servicing
The RDL-3000-RMH is not intended to be field serviceable, and contains no field
serviceable or field replaceable parts. The module must be serviced only at an approved
manufacturing facility or service depot.
Warning: The RDL-3000-RMH are susceptible to damage from electrostatic
charge. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) must be avoided to prevent damaging or
destroying the module. The module must always be store in an anti-static container/bag
prior to installation and following removal from the product for servicing. Observe ESD
precautions when handling the module.
3.3 Professional Installation
Devices containing the Redline RDL-3000-RMH require professional installation. It is
the responsibility of the installer to understand the product operation by attending
training as required, reading and understanding the product documentation, and
ensuring that all building, safety and regulatory codes are met and the installation is
complete and secure.
3.4 Safety Precautions
Installation and service must be done by personnel having technical training and
experience necessary to be aware of hazards during installation and/or service of RF
equipment. The installation and/or service must be done using procedures designed to
minimize any danger to technical personnel or any other person.
3.5 Radio Frequency Safety
The installer of this radio equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such
that it does not emit RF fields in excess of the general population limits as defined by:
FCC CFR 47, Part 2.1091
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2009-title47-vol1/pdf/CFR-2009-title47-vol1-sec2-
1091.pdf
FCC OET Bulletin 65, Radio frequency radiation exposure evaluation for fixed
devices
http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Engineering_Technology/Documents/bulletins/oet65
/oet65c.pdf
Refer to the regulatory statements included in this document.

4 Final Product Requirements
The following requirements apply to all final products incorporating the RDL-3000-RMH.
4.1 Frequency Bands
Operation of the final product requires a software 'key' that is available exclusively from
Redline. This key restricts device operation to the FCC 473 - 611 MHz band on TV
channels 14 - 37. The professional installer and operator can not modify or otherwise
circumvent these operational restrictions.
To operate in the whitespace devices frequency range, each RDL-3000-RMH must
contact and register with the WSDB database server (server URL is programmed into
the RDL-3000-RMH). The RDL-3000 may only transmit on channels indicated as
'available' by the WSDB database. Channel assignments are temporary and the RDL-
3000-RMH must periodically contact the WSDB to refresh the channel list. The RDL-
3000-RMH vacates a channel in-use immediately when a WSDB database status update
indicates the channel is no longer available or the expiry time for an obtained list has
elapsed.
The RDL-3000-RMH operating as a PMP Sector Controller/PTP Master (PMP-SC) is not
allowed to transmit on any channel before registering with the WSDB database and
obtaining a list of available channels for its location. The RDL-3000-RMH operating as a
PMP Subscriber/PTP Slave (PMP-SS) is allowed to transmit on the channel currently
being used by the PMP-SC initially only for the purpose of registering with the WSDB
database and obtaining a list of available channels for its location. If the channel in-use
is not available, the PMP-SS notifies the PMP-SC and stops transmitting. The PMP-SS
may register and obtain the current channel list once per hour.
4.2 Antenna Use and Transmit Power
The RDL-3000-RMH module supports operation with 2x2 MIMO antenna systems with
two transmit chains and two receive chains. The RDL-3000-RMH module must be used
only with certified antennas and using the channel size and output power level specified
by the FCC regulations.
4.3 Certified Antennas
The RDL-3000-RMH module has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in
the following table. Any additional antennas will be used only after authorization is
obtained through Class II permissive change.

5 Regulatory Notices
5.1 FCC Notices: Deployment in USA
The following notices about deployment in the USA are included in training and
documentation provided to professional installers and operators of the final product:
1. The final product must be professionally installed.
2. WARNING -- FCC RF Exposure Warnings
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements for RF transmitting devices, a minimum
distance of 40 cm (15 3/4") should be maintained between the antenna of this
device and persons during device operation:
To ensure compliance, operation at closer than these distances is not
recommended. The antenna used for this transmitter must not be collocated in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
3. FCC §15.706 Information to the user.
(a) In addition to the labeling requirements contained in §15.19, the instructions
furnished to the user of a white space device shall include the following statement,
placed in a prominent location in the text of the manual:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the rules for white space
devices, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference. 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. 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:
(1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
(2) Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
(3) Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
(4) Consult the manufacturer, dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
4. FCC Information to Users § FCC 15.19:
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
5. FCC Information to Users § FCC 15.21:
Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Redline
Communications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
