FCC RULES COMPLIANCE
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
causeundesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
RF EXPOSURE WARNING
This equipment complies with the FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This transmitter must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF
exposure compliance. This transmitter must be at least 20 cm from the user and must not be co-
located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
NOTE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is

HUMAN EXPOSURE STATEMENT
This equipment is designed to generate and radiate radio frequency (RF) energy using an
external antenna.
When terminated into a non-radiating RF load, the radio is certified to comply with FCC
regulations pertaining to human exposure to RF radiation in accordance with the FCC
Rules Part 1 section 1.1310 as published in title 47 code of federal regulations and
procedures established in TIA/EIA TSB92, Report on EME Evaluation for RF Cabinet
Emissions Under FCC MPE Guidelines. Compliance with FCC regulations of the final
installation should be assessed and take into account site-specific characteristics such
as type and location of antennas, as well as site accessibility of occupational personnel
(controlled environment) and the general public (uncontrolled environment). This
equipment should only be installed and maintained by trained technicians. Whether a
given installation meets FCC limits for human exposure to radio frequency radiation may
depend not only on this equipment but also on whether the environments being
assessed are being affected by radio frequency fields from other equipment, which may
add to the level of exposure. Accordingly, the overall exposure may be affected by radio
frequency generating facilities that exist at the time the licensee’s equipment is being
installed or even by equipment installed later. The effects of any such facilities must be
considered in site selection and in determining whether a particular installation meets
the FCC requirements.
FCC OET Bulletin 65 provides materials to assist in making determinations if a given facility
is compliant with the human exposure to RF radiation limits. Determining the compliance of
transmitter sites of various complexities may be accomplished through computational
methods. For more complex sites, direct measurement of the power density may be more
expedient. Personnel responsible for installing this equipment are urged to consult the listed
reference material to assist in determining whether a given installation complies with the
applicable limits.
In general, the following guidelines should be observed when working in or around radio
transmitter sites:
•All personnel should have electromagnetic energy awareness training
•All personnel entering the site must be authorized
•Obey all posted signs
•Assume all antennas are active
•Before working on antennas, notify owners and disable appropriate transmitters
•Maintain minimum 3 feet clearance from all antennas
•Do not stop in front of antennas
•Use personal RF monitors while working near antennas
•Never operate transmitters without shields during normal operation
•Do not operate Base Station antennas in equipment rooms

v

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PRECAUTIONS
Static electricity can damage electronic circuitry, particularly low voltage components
such as the integrated circuits commonly used throughout the electronics industry.
Therefore, procedures have been adopted industry-wide which make it possible to avoid
the sometimes invisible damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) during the
handling, shipping, and storage of electronic modules and components. Siemens
Industry, Inc. has instituted these practices at its manufacturing facility and encourages
its customers to adopt them as well to lessen the likelihood of equipment damage in the
field due to ESD. Some of the basic protective practices include the following:
•Ground yourself before touching card cages, assemblies, modules, or components.
•Remove power from card cages and assemblies before removing or installing modules.
•Remove circuit boards (modules) from card cages by the ejector lever only. If an ejector
lever is not provided, grasp the edge of the circuit board but avoid touching circuit traces
or components.
•Handle circuit boards by the edges only.
•Never physically touch circuit board or connector contact fingers or allow these fingers to
come in contact with an insulator (e.g., plastic, rubber, etc.).
•When not in use, place circuit boards in approved static-shielding bags, contact fingers
first. Remove circuit boards from static-shielding bags by grasping the ejector lever or
the edge of the board only. Each bag should include a caution label on the outside
indicating static-sensitive contents.
•Cover workbench surfaces used for repair of electronic equipment with static dissipative
workbench matting.
•Use integrated circuit extractor/inserter tools designed to remove and install electrostatic-
sensitive integrated circuit devices such as PROM’s (OK Industries, Inc., Model EX-2
Extractor and Model MOS-40 Inserter (or equivalent) are highly recommended).
•Utilize only anti-static cushioning material in equipment shipping and storage containers.
For information concerning ESD material applications, please contact the Technical
Support Staff at 1-800-793-7233. ESD Awareness Classes and additional ESD product
information are also available through the Technical Support Staff.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Airlink Mercury Software Definable Radio (SDR) is an ultra-compact, low-cost, Endpoint
Radio for mission-critical data applications including industrial field area devices. The Airlink
Mercury Radio, with its superior receiver sensitivity and support for narrower transmit channels,
ensures maximum range from an Airlink Base Station and support for challenging RF
environments.
Airlink Mercury’s low power consumption allows for deployment in Mission Critical IoT (MC-IoT)
applications with battery and solar power supplies.
When connected to an Airlink Base Station, the Airlink Mercury radio serves as a remote
Ethernet bridge with QoS support from Airlink Base Stations. The Airlink Mercury Radio enables
the deployment of low data rate, multi-protocol intelligent devices including support for SCADA
RTUs, IEDs, Fault Circuit Indicators, Capacitor Bank controls, and backhaul of low range sensor
networks based on Wi-Fi, BLE, LoRa, Sigfox, etc. Airlink Mercury Radios can be deployed on a
massive scale in an Airlink network with hundreds of radios operating on a single Base Station.
The Airlink Mercury radio operates in a wide range of licensed frequencies (100 MHz to 1 GHz)
with configurable channel bandwidths between 1 kHz and 50 kHz. Airlink Mercury employs a
single band AMC 1x6 sub-channel to communicate with Airlink Base Stations in standard
narrow channel sizes.
The Airlink Mercury radio is a building block within the Airlink MC-IoT Point to Multipoint (PtMP)
multicell, multisector system. It is designed to serve MC-IoT low throughput endpoints along
with the Airlink Remote Radio serving high throughput endpoints. Both types of remote radios
operate simultaneously with an Airlink MC-IoT sector Base Station.
