Warnings 19
WARNINGS
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
The operation of this device in the 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz frequency range is restricted to
indoor use. FCC regulations require this product to be used indoors while operating at 5.15
GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful interference. However, the operation of
this device in the 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz frequency range is allowed for both indoor and
outdoor use. High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz
and 5.65 GHz to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or
damage to this device.
FCC WARNING
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.
No guarantee exists that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception (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 radio/TV receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the radio/TV receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
radio/TV receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Modifications
made to the product, unless expressly approved by SilverNet Limited, could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
RF EXPOSURE REQUIREMENTS
To ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, the antenna used for this device
must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and
must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or radio
transmitter. Installers and end-users must follow the installation instructions provided in this
user guide.

CE STATEMENT
The ECHO Range 95 is intended to be used by suitably trained individuals or organisations
that are familiar with the requirements of the R&TTE directive. In particular the client must
ensure that appropriate antennas and transmit power levels are selected to ensure that all
power limits are met. Hereby, SilverNet Limited declares that this device is in compliance
with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the R&TTE Directive
1999/5/EC. However, the use of the following warning symbol
Means that this equipment is subject to restrictions of use in certain countries and selection
of the correct country of operation (country code) will ensure that the device operates only
on the frequencies permissible within that country. It is also the operator’s responsibility to
ensure that appropriate licenses have been sought when operating on licensed frequencies,
for example UK Band C, 5725-5850MHz.
In the UK, all radios operate under the control of Ofcom. Radio use in the 2.4 & 5GHz bands
are deemed to be Licence Exempt with the exception of Band C. Band C (5.725 to 5.825GHz)
requires registration with Ofcom under a light licensing scheme. While this band is still
effectively licence exempt, Ofcom wants to keep a register of all FWA links and charges a
small fee. Any user wishing to set up an outdoor link for FWA needs to apply to Ofcom for a
site license; the licence is not hard to obtain and is only £50 which includes registration of up
to 50 terminals. For every terminal beyond 50 you should add £1 to the cost of your licence.
Further information on the legal implications of Band C usage can be found on the Ofcom
website.
