TRACER 4108/4208 System Manual FCC-Required Information

FCC-Required Information

Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement

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 frequencies. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the

interference at his own expense.

Radio Frequency Interface Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for an intentional radiator, pursuant to

Part 15, Subpart C of the FCC Rules. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause interference to radio

communications.

The limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential situation.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment

does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment

on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna of the affected radio or television.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the affected receiver.

• Connect the equipment and the affected receiver to power outlets on separate circuits.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Shielded cables must be used with this unit to ensure compliance with Class A FCC limits.

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible

for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ADTRAN could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

FCC-Required Information TRACER 4108/4208 System Manual

FCC Output Power Restrictions

The FCC does not require licensing to implement this device. License-free operation in the industrial,

scientific, and medical band is documented in FCC Rules Part 15.247. It is the responsibility of the

individuals designing and implementing the radio system to assure compliance with any pertinent FCC

Rules and Regulations. This device must be professionally installed.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Fields

The TRACER 4108 is designed to operate at 2.4 GHz with 100 mW maximum transmit power. The

TRACER 4208 is designed to operate at 5.8 GHz with 100 mW maximum transmit power.

This level of RF energy is below the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels specified in FCC OET

65:97-01. The installation of high gain antenna equipment in the system configuration may create the

opportunity for exposure to levels higher than recommended for the general population at a distance less

than 15 feet (4.6 meter) from the center of the antenna. The following precautions must be taken during

installation of this equipment:

• The installed antenna must not be located in a manner that allows exposure of the general population to

the direct beam path of the antenna at a distance less than 15 feet (4.6 meters). Installation on towers,

masts, or rooftops not accessible to the general population is recommended; or

• Mount the antenna in a manner that prevents any personnel from entering the area within 15 feet (4.6

meter) from the front of the antenna.

• It is recommended that the installer place radio frequency hazard warnings signs on the barrier that

prevents access to the antenna.

• Prior to installing the antenna to the TRACER 4108/4208 output, make sure the power is adjusted to the

settings specified in section 2 of this manual.

• During antenna installation, be sure that power to the TRACER equipment is turned off in order to

prevent any energy presence on the coaxial connector.

• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not stand in front of the antenna assembly.

• During installation and alignment of the antenna, do not handle or touch the front of the antenna.

These simple precautions must be taken to prevent general population and installation personnel from

exposure to RF energy in excess of specified MPE levels.
